Tanis,
We aren't that far from you, but we have a substantial amount of rust on our
native Amelanchier laevis. Some on the fruit which destroys it, but mostly
spots on the leaves which don't appear to hurt the plants much but do detract
from their attractiveness. I have a small bush of some other species of
Amelanchier but I don't remember if it gets rust spots or not.

I've been mostly in s.WI during growing seasons lately, and don't recall ever
seeing rust on Amels. I've had to get glasses during that time, but still
that seems likely something too big to miss.
