About Cedar
A fungal disease affecting crabapple trees, cedar apple rust causes bright orange-yellow spots on leaves and fruit, leading to premature leaf drop and reduced fruit quality. It thrives in Middle Tennessee’s humid climate, especially near cedar trees, which serve as an alternate host for the fungus. Proper sanitation and fungicide treatments can help protect trees in areas like Columbia and Franklin.
