orange jelly

[Page]

I have a cedar on my property that is oozing orange jelly, I asume its a fungus. anyone know what it is?

Do cedar trees get slime flux? Does it stink?

Has it been raining a lot? Probably Cedar Apple rust. It usually isn't that big of an issue.

I didn't notice a smell but I did see dark spots here and there on the trunk that looked wet, like somthing seeping through from the inside. the jelly was down lower about a foot and a half from ground.

yeah that looks like it, it wasn't on the branches, just the trunk. so it's not anything to worry about then?

Unless you cut down any and every apple tree with a half mile radius there isn't much you can do about it.

yup, cedar apple rust, we get that here as well as pear trellis rust which goes between pears and junipers. The cedars that get affected are actually Thuja species, not true Cedrus FWIW.
