rust spots on leaves?

[fishboy1]

Got some kind of fungus on my apple tree leaves. Orange spots.
Whats a good fungicide for fruit trees?

Thanks!

Sounds like it might be Apple Ceder rust. Remove all cedar trees within 100 yds of the apple trees

Sounds like you're better off removing the apple trees.

You would have to remove all Cedars within miles to be rid of it, which just isnt practical. The basidiospores can travel a long ways on the wind. Anyways, I put pics and such in the QDM forum on your post.

Spray with captan

At my 1st home I fought a constant battle with my fruit trees to control rust and other fungus's.Most sprays with copper or sulfur will help. You must be on a spray schedule and stick to it.
Now days I only plant Heirloom or desease resistant fruit trees.

cedar rust dont hurt them does it just the looks is all right? ours has them but makes apples.

Doesnt hurt as far as stopping production or killing the tree but does affect the overall health of the tree. And a healthy tree will grow faster and produce more heavily. Biggest issue is defoliation, stunting and misshaping of fruit. Not a big deal if you want apples for the deer or even for yourself but a huge deal if your in the business of selling apples. Cant sell a ugly apple.
