Jack,

I don't know if your use of the term 'Cedar Tree' was a short cut, or what.
Actually,
this fungus forms on Red Cedar trees. Red Cedar is misnamed, since it is
actually
a member of the Juniper family. The disease is between apple trees and members
of the Juniper family. This is a common misconception. Maybe you are aware of
this, but many other people are confused by the name Red Cedar. I would like to

know the name of the genius who named the disease Cedar-Apple Rust. It should
have been called Juniper-Apple Rust.
