After much study, I was convinced it was an outback blooming onion. Further research turned up this.

@hounddawg there is your rust problem on your crabapples. Guess I have known cedars produce the rust but didn't think about it. Just something I have known since I was a kid, didn't know the reason for it. Thanks, @olusteebus . Arne.

cedar apple rust it is. had some Jonathan apple trees really susceptible cut down the cedar trees and it helped. i have been told cedars three mile away can affect the fruit. check with county agent should have the recommended spray program for the rust.

 

[Rice_Guy]

As @salcoco said, cedar apple rust, a fungal disease ,,, will take out apple family (crabs).

It has two hosts the eastern white cedar and apple family and does a circular trip back and forth with two stages in the life cycle. If you can remove the cedar it breaks the cycle or if you can remove the apple family it breaks the cycle.
Nice photo !

pruning will not be sufficient you will have to cut down the cedar trees. the rust will just inhabit the tree the following year.

I have seen them as a child and wondered what the heck they are!

 

[cmason1957]

@hounddawg I think they are really just children of the great Flying Spaghetti Monster, come to steal your wine. Shoot them with buckshot, then burn the trees down.

welp I'll cut them down, is it just them 2 tees or all the eastern white cedar trees, if i remember we have at least 6 types of cedar on the place, so do i need to cut down all of the eastern white cedars?

Your culprit might be nearby juniper.

Red cedars and other junipers are most often infected by the cedar-apple rust fungus. Related rusts are cedar-hawthorn and cedar-quince rusts. The life cycle of these rusts requires two different host trees. Cedar-apple rust needs a juniper and an apple or crabapple tree to complete its life cycle. Cedar-hawthorn and cedar-quince rusts have similar life cycles.

well after more reading more i see they are several types of rust using different types of juniper an cedar, we have at least 6 types of cedar and juniper growing around here. 1 has hanging limbs kind of like a weeping willow, just not as extreme, and one with little green berries, one that is green with a red cast to it, an a couple with lighter or deeper shades of green,, i see there is a all natural fungicide but they think it is gold, $40 a tree, anyone know the recipe for that stuff?

I have cedars and apples around my house. Rust is a problem here to say the least. I use a fungicide called immunox, AKA Myclobutanil. It controls the rust on my apple and pear trees very well.
