Q.Balls On My Tree Branches
Not sure what kind of tree I have, but there are balls forming around the branches of my tree and I am picking up leaves where the forming balls have been. Do you know what this is and how I can get rid of them? I don’t want to lose my tree.

It sounds like galls. Whether they are harmful or not depends on the tree. This article covers some of the more common ones:
