Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae is a plant pathogen that causes cedar-apple rust. [1] In virtually any location where apples or crabapples and eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) coexist, cedar apple rust can be a destructive or disfiguring disease on both the apples and cedars.
The fungus does not cause serious damage to junipers, but apple and pear trees can suffer serious loss of fruit production due to the effects of the fungus. Although the genus has a worldwide distribution, its impact depends on availability of its two host plant species.
Gymnosporangium sabinae is a species of rust fungus in the subdivision Pucciniomycotina.Known as pear rust, European pear rust, or pear trellis rust, it is a heteroecious plant pathogen with Juniperus sabina (savin juniper) as the main primary host and Pyrus communis (common pear) as the main secondary host.
However, leaf spots may, in advanced stages, expand to kill entire areas of leaf tissue and thus exhibit blight symptoms. Blights are often named after their causative agent. For example, Colletotrichum blight is named after the fungus Colletotrichum capsici, and Phytophthora blight is named after the water mold Phytophthora parasitica. [11]
Upright Conical Junipers. These types of juniper shrubs offer lots of options, with mature heights anywhere from 3-40 feet. “The upright junipers are very popular, because they are good ...
Gymnosporangium clavariiforme (tongues of fire) [2] is a species of rust fungus which alternately infects Juniperus and hawthorns. [3] In junipers, the primary hosts, G. clavariiforme produces a set of orange tentacle-like spore tubes called telial horns. These horns expand and have a jelly like consistency when wet. [4]
Important diseases: Pestalotiopsis tip blight of conifers, Gray leaf spot Pestalotia is primarily a secondary pathogen.
