    Hi again everyone. I can't figure this one out. The leaves look similar to those of an oak tree. It has white cotton like balls that are full of seeds. The tree is around 5 meters high because the top has broken off. I'm guessing it should be at least twice as tall normally. Here are the pictures, and TIA.

    It is indeed an oak tree. And the white cottony thing is a Wool Sower Gall.

    I do believe you are correct. I keep hoping to find something rare, but I guess this wasn't it either.

    Thanks for the help!
