Terribly allergic to Poison Oak, I don't know much about these little balls, whether or not they are seed pods. I do know that this particular climbing species is more potent, can cause more severe rections, than the standard rockpile variety that looks more like willow limbs this time of year. 12-15 feet tall, the base of this one is about four inches in diameter with bark like an oak. Stay clear!
