Callirhytis apicalis, formerly Andricus apicalis, the trunk gall wasp, is a species of hymenopteran that induces galls on the trunks or roots of black oak group trees in California in North America.[1][2] Newly formed galls are red or yellow, turning brown as they age.[2] This wasp is most often associated with Quercus agrifolia (coast live oak).[2] This wasp is generally considered uncommon.[2]
