When should I treat for cedar apple rust?

Answered for Speedway, Marion County.

Common wherever red cedar has colonised a fence line near apples — which in rural Hendricks and Boone counties is nearly everywhere. In Speedway, no public street-tree inventory has been published for Speedway, so species counts are UNVERIFIED. Because the residential core finished building out by the mid-1950s and has barely been rebuilt since, much of the yard canopy is likely of comparable age and large enough to close over narrow streets and 40-to-50-foot lots — an inference from build-out dates, not a measured finding. The exception is Main Street, where a town streetscape reconstruction installed all-new landscaping, so those trees are recent. Disfiguring rather than deadly.

Speedway's canopy and what's at risk

No public street-tree inventory has been published for Speedway, so species counts are UNVERIFIED. Because the residential core finished building out by the mid-1950s and has barely been rebuilt since, much of the yard canopy is likely of comparable age and large enough to close over narrow streets and 40-to-50-foot lots — an inference from build-out dates, not a measured finding. The exception is Main Street, where a town streetscape reconstruction installed all-new landscaping, so those trees are recent.

What to look for

Orange gelatinous horns on cedar in spring; orange spots on apple and crabapple leaves.

Whether the tree can be saved

Disfiguring rather than deadly. It matters most to orchards and to anyone who wants a clean crabapple.

Timing in Marion County

Fungicide on the apple side at bud break, or remove the cedars within a few hundred feet.
