How do I know if my tree has cedar apple rust?
Orange gelatinous horns on cedar in spring; orange spots on apple and crabapple leaves. It attacks needs both eastern red cedar and an apple or crabapple to complete its cycle.
What it does to the tree
Disfiguring rather than deadly. It matters most to orchards and to anyone who wants a clean crabapple.
Indiana specifics
Common wherever red cedar has colonised a fence line near apples — which in rural Hendricks and Boone counties is nearly everywhere.
