Can a tree with cedar apple rust be saved?
Disfiguring rather than deadly. It matters most to orchards and to anyone who wants a clean crabapple.
Timing
Fungicide on the apple side at bud break, or remove the cedars within a few hundred feet.
Indiana specifics
Common wherever red cedar has colonised a fence line near apples — which in rural Hendricks and Boone counties is nearly everywhere.
