Talk:Gall

Untitled

I would suggest the person responsible for adding the pictures in the Gall page should state not only the name of the plant pictured but also the name of the insect inducing it, since the gall is a result of the interaction of (at least) these two organisms.

In the part where it says that gall has many medical uses, maybe it could be inserted that at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus was offered wine mixed with gall, which he refused to drink after tasting it (27:34).Jeremiahmccarver (talk) 18:39, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Embedded Pictures.

Gall formation on the trunk of a Willow Oak Quercus phellos

Extensive and imposing text, without any related images to support. Not sure why photos were all pooled at the bottom, perhaps too generic of a subject. At least a picture in introduction to capture the idea of what a plant gall can look like. RandomReplicator (talk) 19:32, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

The images are grouped in each chapter to avoid having them run into the following chapters. One for the lead? Why not. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:45, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Actually, digging deeper, this image may be better described as burl; although there seems to be some overlap of the terms.

Yes, that surely isn't caused by a microscopic insect. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:45, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
