• Gallex may also be used to eradicate burr knot, olive knot and rust gall of pine.

Application

• Gallex may be applied directly to galls via paintbrush. 
• Very large galls may be partially removed; in the case of walnuts, galls may be completely removed.
• To treat galls located below the soil,  it is recommended that the soil be removed through the use of pressurized water to expose the diseased areas.
