Planted a couple apple trees a while back and noticed while trimming today that they have rust showing on the leaves. Trees are young (about 2 yr old). What works for treating cedar apple rust (CAR)?

My state's extension office says to remove all cedar trees in a 1.5 mile radius and treat the Apple trees with a fungicide appropriate for CAR.

Removing those trees isn't feasible unless you're lucky enough to own that much land, so you're stuck with spraying two or three times a year.

There are cedars everywhere out here. I can't remove them...they aren't mine. I'll call the extension office-I totally forgot about them. Thanks.
