What does treatment for cedar apple rust cost?
Treatment typically runs $100 to $300 per application around Indianapolis, and it is rarely one application. Fungicide on the apple side at bud break, or remove the cedars within a few hundred feet.
Whether it's worth it
Disfiguring rather than deadly. It matters most to orchards and to anyone who wants a clean crabapple.
