MYSTERY PIX, ANSWERS ON OLD ONES
MIKE HILLER, COUNTY AGENT for Jackson County found the answer. This is a CREEPING FIG, in the Mulberry family.http://www.hear.org/starr/h... target='_blank'>HERE
For more go http://www.burkesbackyard.c... target='_blank'>HERE Description: A vigorous, climbing fig that attaches itself to surfaces by means of aerial roots. It has crinkly, heart-shaped juvenile leaves on a tracery of fine stems which adhere closely to its support. When the plant matures it starts to produce large, leathery adult foliage on horizontal, woody branches. Mature plants also produce yellowish-green, inedible figs. Best climate: All areas of Australia except for Hobart, the mountains and inland zones (creeping fig is an environmental weed in NSW). Good points: * attractive juvenile foliage * fast growing * shade tolerant * tough * low maintenance Uses: * quick cover for ugly, masonry walls * good ground cover for large areas * good for softening industrial landscapes * useful for creating quick 'topiary' Downside: * very aggressive grower once established * very high maintenance if grown on buildings - will dislodge roof tiles, damage wooden structures and attempt to cover everything in a curtain of green Care: Creeping fig is very hardy and drought tolerant once established. Prune to control rampant growth and to remove horizontal branches which stand out from the support and produce unattractive adult foliage. Getting started: Creeping fig is readily available at nurseries, but it is very easy to propagate by cuttings or layers (it forms roots wherever a branch touches the ground). NEW PIX: This first is a better shot from before. The second shows the fresh one and a dryer one cut open. We still have no idea what they are. Here are pix to answer for previous mystery pix. #1> CEDAR APPLE RUST GALL on eastern red cedar twig #2. Cedar-apple rust horns on juniper #3. Cedar-apple rust lesions on apple leaf In the spring, orange jelly-like horns arise from gray to brown colored fungal galls on the branches of infected cedars and junipers (Fig. 1). These horns produce wind blown spores, which infect apple and/or crabapple trees up to three miles away. Symptoms on apple and crabapple initially appear on the upper leaf surface as small yellow spots, which later enlarge and turn orange (Fig. 2). The fungus then grows through the leaf, causing yellow-brown lesions to appear on the underside of the leaf. In late summer, these lesions form small, horn-like structures, containing rust-colored spores which are wind blown to susceptible cedars and junipers. There they start new infections. The following spring, small greenish-brown swellings form on the branches of cedars and junipers. These swellings may enlarge up to two inches in diameter over the summer. The following spring, these galls produce orange gelatinous horns and spores, beginning a new infection cycle. Dead galls on cedar and juniper may remain attached for a year or more.
