Hmm, maybe it's NOT white pine blister rust!  Do clove-currants get other 
rusts?  Most of the seedlings I grew out are rather badly infested.

I have some clove currant and several white pines and have never noticed 
rust on either.  maybe I've just been lucky, but clove currant is legal in 
MA, unlike European black currant (at least, the Arnold Arboretum sold it, 
and I presume they would both know and follow the law) so I had assumed it 
wasn't a host.
