Lucky? Well, so far! The cedar-apple rust is a
different species from the
cedar-hawthorn rust, I believe. Our own Nina
Shishkoff authored an
excellent
short article on the rusts in the ABS's journal
not long ago (would be
worthwhile to have that on the Web somewhere!).

I merely co-authored that paper; most of the work
was done by Andy Walsh.
It's a good paper to consult for the host range of
the 3 major juniper
gall rusts.

Nina,

Merely co-authoring a paper makes you an expert in my
book, I for one haven't even read the paper.

I am now wondering if there's any link between these and a type of
woolly aphids that appear annually on the same apple trees.

The gall aphids on apple are the same aphids that feed on elm foliage,
oddly enough. So if you have elms in your yard, you will have to watch
your apples for root galls!
