I think they might be a gall. Try carefully cutting one open (Small, sharp knife, I know!) Small wasps produce galls on plants in order to hatch their offspring. Doesn't mean they're a bad thing - many small wasps pollintate fruits. I don''t think they'll damage your greengage, they just look a bit unsightly. Try googling gall wasps or somthing and it will tell you if you can get rid of them, or even if you need to. There are specific galls for specific plants. Fascinating (if wierd!)Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Ta Flummery - wiil google gall wasps. There are plenty of undamaged, ripening greengages on the same branch that this leaf came from so I'm not worried - just curious!You are a child of the universe,

If it's not a gall wasp it will be some kind of leaf miner for a guess. The only way you could cure it is with a systemic incecticide and as you eat them .......

We have those on our wild plum hedge, but not on the cultivated ones, yet. So far I have been unable to come up with any definitive cause.Comment

Ta for the replies - I will not be spraying with anything unless it turns out to be some pest that could seriously damage the trees. The crop seems to be fine!You are a child of the universe,

I have found out that an aphid called phylloxera damages grape vines in the same way. Must be a relative!You are a child of the universe,
