Summary ²

Gymnosporangium clavipes is a plant pathogen, a fungus that causes cedar-quince rust. Similar to Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae and Gymnosporangium globosum, the fungus infects a wide range of Rosaceae, such as apple, hawthorn, and quince trees, and also requires an evergreen host such as Eastern Red Cedar or a number of other juniper species to complete its life cycle.
