I have a fruit tree that has some strange leaf growths on it. What is the tree and why the funky growths? I am in Kansas City and just bought the house so I do not know anything about the tree. It may be a fruit tree with a pit like peach or apricot because I did find old pits laying about the base. http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu81/jackal411_bucket/greenriderandgranite012.jpg
