Looks like rust. This is a fungal disease that travels back and forth between the host plant - a juniper - and the pear or other member of the rose family. You can spray with a fungicide in early spring when the spores are moving around and the weird orange, jelly-like globs are present on the junipers. But you really never conquer the disease until all the host plants in the vicinity are removed.

The good news is that it is little more than cosmetic damage to the ornamental pears.....more of an issue with the fruiting types.

The other alternative is to remove the pear. Since these are weak wooded, short-lived trees that are invasive in most areas where planted and stink when they bloom, this is an option many choose to follow ;-))

Thank You so much!!

==>>> i am NEVER concerned about slight leaf problems.. on deciduous trees in late summer ...

i agree on removal ... plant something else of quality ... mother earth net zero ...

Remove; and loose the white clouds of blooms in early spring and the pretty leaves in the fall?

I don't know about other areas of the country but in eastern section of the Carolinas, Cleveland live about 20 to 25 years. Some get damaged and have to be removed before then.

The average length of time that a person owns a home is about 5 to 7 years, This means that most owners of the home in the 25 year life of the Cleveland, will be able to enjoy the tree and have no problems with it.

Dont remove the tree. The "Cleveland" is less prone to breakage.

They are just as weak wooded and prone to wind and ice damage as any other callery pear.....it is only their shape that limits this to some degree. And there is no limitation of their invasive potential.
