Hi everyone,

First post so a big cheer from me to you guys

I have what I think is a Satsuma tree (fruited about 3 yrs ago but
nothing since), and brownish blobs have appeared on the leafs.
Admittedly, I noticed them last yr but they were few and far between.
This time however, there are much more particular towards the base of
the tree.

Here is a picture which better helps

Any ideas what this is?



Hard to tell from the photo, but it might be cedar-apple rust, a
fungal infection. Try searching online and looking at the photos and
descriptions available based on that term.

Do you have cedars or junipers in the area?
