This is exactly so. I drew a mental blank during one of my mental farts and could not remember the term precisely, thus just said canker instead of gall.
I can barely remember peoples names much less those of plant ailments.
I was going to shout tumefasciens @penumbra ! But ypur brain fart made me google and it seems there's another variety strictly found on fici.
So all in all, the outcome is positive. I learned something new.
