I have a few oak & chestnut trees grown from the seeds : Grows on You

London, United Kingdom

I have a few oak & chestnut trees grown from the seeds,two or so yrs old.On one of the chestnuts I have found fairly tough,clusters of balls on the underside of the leaves.They are about half a cm across & seem to hold a liquid.Never seen anything like it before.Any ideas what they could be?
