| It sounds like cedar-quince rust and what you are cutting off the stems are cankers. This fungus occurs on a wide range of rose family plants, including mountain ash, hawthorn, quince, flowering quince, serviceberry, crabapple, and apple (apples are somewhat resistant). In addition, eastern red cedars, common, prostrate, Rocky Mountain and savin junipers are possible evergreen hosts. In order to survive, the fungus must "move" from one type of host to another. I found some photos that will help you determine whether or not this is what your quince tree has, and if so, how to control the problem: http://www.umassgreeninfo.org/... Hope this information is helpful! |
