Can anyone explain why the new growth on these young shrubs/trees is distorted? I think the one on the right is a Garry Oak and on the right, a dogwood seedling of some sort. I don't see aphids on either. Could it be a virus and, if so, could it spread to other plants?
When I first saw this post my initial thought was fasciation, particularly the 2nd picture. On the Wikipedia page there's a picture of a cherry tree with very similar growth.
