Cedar Rust
We have received photographic evidence in our Plant Clinic email this week to show that the cedar rust galls are producing their telial spore horns and producing spores. I went to my back window to check my neighbor’s poor juniper. On Tuesday morning, I could not see any spore horns, but by Wednesday noon, I did not need the binoculars to confirm the horns are expanded. They are fully expanded due to the rain this week. All three cedar rusts (cedar-apple, cedar hawthorn and cedar quince) are active now. If you have not started protective sprays on the deciduous host, it time to get going!
