What is this growing on cedar trees

It's all they way to the top of 40 ft tall trees.
No way we can spray anything that high.
What should we do?

Nothing or cut them down and burn them?
 
I used to have rental properties. Had that in a cedar at one property. One of my tenants was a student in forestry. He was able to treat it.
 
If you are trying to grow apples in the vicinity of this infection on cedar trees, you have a problem, as per the Forest Service info. If the cedar trees are your only concern, we had this rust in our Eastern red cedar for decades in S. Minnesota. As a forester, I couldn't recommend their removal to my Mom and Dad. The trees eventually came down for other reasons. Steve
 
In reality the bottom line is removal. There are some fungicides (not food application) that help especially if the fugus is removed physically, then sprayed. This is really a professionally applied solution to high value evergreen trees.
The info provided in the link has a list of more resistant evergreens part way down the document. Jim

One peach trees died.
Apple trees aren't dead yet.
Many cedar trees have it.
Going for a walk later to check out cedar trees in gravel pit. Over 100 plus about 60 saplings.

Cedar Apple Rust. There's plenty of information online. When fruit growing we don't want to see a cedar tree for 5 miles! We can spray the fruit trees for the disease but not sure of the cure for the cedar tree itself. Jump in and google that question.
 
Used to have those bad, for decades. They get so weird when they get wet, then back to normal hard deal when dry. Used to play with the wet ones when I was a kid, they were like an orange space alien octopus. (I was alone a lot as a kid.......)

Hard on apples of course.

Something happened, too hot, too dry, too cold, too wet, something, and they all disappeared here. We have the very same now near 100 year old trees, but those spores have been gone a couple decades.

Yes,, lousy invasive Juniper weed. About 15 years ago they introduced them into
this area for shelter or 'food plots'. They grow a million blue berries which birds
eat, get diarrhea, and then dump them anywhere within 5 miles. I expect they aren't
healthy for pheasants who need to conserve their energy during cold weather.

They prefer to grow in grass under fences and power lines, and move into wood lots.
They can be sawn down, but the seeds are viable for 5 years. They keep coming back.
They only had value in the past for making wooden pencils from the short straight
pieces between knots.
The US Forest service is trying to eradicate them, to reduce wild fires. However,
the MN DOT lets them grow in road ditches. And from there, they spread into adjoining
pasture and wood lots (including mine). I don't see many people being responsible about them. Some even plant them on purpose. No consideration for our natural heritage.

For the last 10,000 years, the Buffalo made sure they didn't grow in the grasslands.
They also have vicious pollen for those with allergies.
