Fucking had it with these gall wasps in the lemon tree. I let it go too far so have been taking the kukri to it (surprisingly very effective). I'd like to call it shaping the tree but in reality it's wasp genocide.

Spraying the holes and galls with WD40 works to kill the little bastards if you don't want to chop off a particular branch/trunk.
