Many galls of various shapes occur on grapevines as a result of attack by small flies (gall midges). Galls can occur on leaves, tendrils and blossom buds. Numerous species of gall midges attack grape. No practical control for these galls is known, though removing the galls by hand and destroying them would reduce future populations.
