to occur on young emerging leaves shortly after they bud out in late April and early May. As a result of feeding by the thrips, the lamina undergoes mesophyll hyperplasia and becomes distorted into a much-folded cerebrum-like spherical leaf gall (

). The late-season gall is formed when the adult thrips leave the early-season gall to feed on fully grown leaves during Summer-Autumn period. This feeding can start anywhere on the leaves and is not restricted to beginning from the apex or petiole end. Epidermis hypertrophy occurs with simultaneous curling of the blade along the midrib, thus forming bubble-like gall that extends half-way along a leaf (
