The most obvious symptom of this disease is the yellowing of leaves before they drop in the early spring. Infected leaves are filled with numerous black lesions that cover an obvious portion of the leaf. [5] These lesions first appear as small purple spots which turn red to brown and then black.
As the leaves develop, they become increasingly distorted, and ultimately thick and rubbery compared to normal leaves. The color of the leaves changes from the normal green to red and purple, until a whitish bloom covers each leaf. Finally, the dead leaf may dry and turn black before it is cast off. Changes in the bark are less noticeable, if ...
The corresponding stage on the pear trees is known as aecia. The telia and aecia release wind borne resting or hibernating spores (called teliospores and aeciospores) capable of infecting susceptible pear leaves and Juniper respectively. Spores produced from the fungus-induced swellings on juniper stems can be infectious up to 6 km.

These necrotic lesions, localised in area and shape, consist of dead and collapsed cells of the host leaves. [1] One distinct feature of fungal infections is that there may be visible spores in the centre of leaf spots. [7] Fungal leaf spots often have a brown, black, tan or reddish centre with a darker margin and vary in size. [11]
