Gall? - Ceroplastes sinensis

Gall? - Ceroplastes sinensis
San Diego, Balboa Park Cactus Garden, San Diego County, California, USA
November 18, 2009
While taking a walk in the Cactus Garden, I found a tree that had tons of these on its branches. Are they some kind of insect gall? The ants seemed to be very interested in them, as you can see.
