We have several apple trees, and Cedar-Apple Rust is a problem. We are just cutting as many cedar trees around the apple trees as we can. The farther away the source of fungus spores, the less of a problem it is to our apple trees. Social distancing for trees, lol.

Cedar trees are a favored tree for me. They are extremely useful in providing cover for pastured animals during a snow storm or in bitter cold wind. A thick stand of Cedar trees provide a significant barrier for the animals. I have peaches, plums, mulberry, paw paw and cherrie trees and don't feel the need to grow apples so my Cedar trees get to live on.

Meet a future homesteader.
Cedar Rust, never knew about it. This is going 2b a good video for a friend who is moving to a farmhouse in TN and planning on growing an apple orchard. 🍏🍎

Had it on our cedars about 15 feet away from our apple trees down in middle Georgia. Never knew thats what caused it. Thank you

Wow! That's a bunch of rust! I'm a new apple tree grower on the east coast. I'm learning with most fruiting trees, a good practice is a clean environment. Cleaning the leaf and dropped apples immediately under the tree can break some cycles of fungus. Removing lower branches keeps the spores from rising up from under the tree to the leaves during rain. Yes, use a fungicide. Great video!

The essential ingredients in most anti fungals is sulfur and copper. You mix your own using feed supplements from your local co-op. Because of this you can use alliums, especially garlic, to do a diy spray by boiling and reducing . Personally I basically do a homemade hot sauce made from cider vinegar a bunch of garlic and some spicy peppers, hotter the better, so that I can cover fungal issues, bugs and some animals like deer and rabbits. I will say that reduced my issues but it was enough my apples were able to power through it. Honestly I will probably focus on stonefruit, brambles and hazelnuts going forward because it doesn't seem worth the effort. You have to spray early in the season right after it rains and when it rains you have to spray again but this true of basically all fungal diseases, blights or rusts....🙄 Cedar apple rust primarily affects the malus species which mainly means roses and apples and I think it can additionally affect pears. Do some research if you think you have fungal issues as they can look similar and some are in the ground and some are in the air. I've also wondered if I fungicided the cedars going into winter if I could knock it back because it needs a cedar or juniper host to get through winter but I haven't tried that yet

Hello my friend. I have the same issue. I hope you have great success in your harvest. This is our fifth year for our apple and peach trees. So this is the first year we can harvest from them and I've been concerned about the cedar apple rust fungus. Last year it was almost like we had decorated the juniper in our yard for Christmas there were so many on it. Like you said, they're very alien looking fruiting bodies on the fungus. Be well and may the Father continuer to bless you in your pursuit of Him. Shabbat shalom!

Cedar rust, thanks for sharing, like hedgeapples, it took the visual to connect what I have seen to what it is in my nogin!

[PapaPepper]

I am still hard at work trying to eliminate every Cedar Tree in a one mile radius from my apple trees. It is an ongoing project

[kirkferguson]

My wife Lisa and I want apple trees on our homestead and I was vaguely aware of this issue. Thank you for the great information.

[bridget]

I'm in Iowa and my juniper tree has these all over them this year. I ran over to Earl May garden center and they said that it eventually kill the tree and it needs to be treated. The treatment is an antifungal and if you have more than one tree they said to treat all of them because it will kill them all. We don't even have apple trees. He said that they are spores that are carried in the air. He said basically I have two choices treat it or cut it down.

[abarn]

Up here in the PA Appalachians, we also have it.

[robinsong]

Shabbat Shalom Zach I've never seen this thanks for the video.

[Mrs_Guac_and_Glock]

We have it on our trees (there's two apple trees close to them) here in SE Indiana

[WinsomeWinslet]

Interesting! I recently read that this same sort of relationship exists between currant bushes and pine trees. Apparently it's illegal to even buy currants in some states.

[KatInTheNorth]

Interesting, I’ve never seen cedar rust before. You have a beautiful area there!

[anothersaint]

Trip out! Just discovered you have another channel man! Oh cool and Papa Pepper chills here too! Yahwesome!
