A disease of Pinus ponderosa and related species.

CONT

Limb rust is caused by a group of fungi with poorly understood taxonomy including Peridermium filamentosum, Cronartium arizonicum, C. coleosporioides, and probably other taxa.

CONT

Several rusts of the Cronartium coleosporioides complex are damaging to ponderosa pine. Locally, especially in the Southwest, limb rust (Peridermium filamentosum) attacks middle or upper crowns of mature trees, killing branches in both directions as it spreads.
