and Apples
The orange spots on your apple leaves is Cedar Apple Rust(CAR). If
you look closely at the cedar, you may see 'cedar apples' a mass
formed by the fungus whose life cycle requires it to go from the cedar to
the apple and back again. the 'cedar apples' will have
orange 'horns' under appropriate weather conditions.
I think some of the new apple varieties out are resistant to CAR, and you
can spray fungicides to prevent the disease (I don't think there's any cure
spray, but some of the new sprays my have this action). But I think its
better to prevent this diease by eliminating the cedar(s).
