"Gymnosporangium Juniperi-virginianae" is a mouthful of a scientific name, but luckily there are several synonyms for this plant disease. One common synonym is "cedar-apple rust," which accurately describes the characteristic orange fruiting bodies that form on infected cedar trees and apple trees. Another synonym is simply "apple rust," which reflects the fact that many fruit trees, including crabapples and hawthorns, can also be affected by this disease. More technically, "Gymnosporangium Juniperi-virginianae" is sometimes referred to as "G. macropus." Whatever the name, this fungal pathogen poses a serious threat to orchards and ornamental trees, and should be carefully monitored and managed to prevent its spread.
