If you have a backyard and take care of plants, you need to know about things that might go wrong. Keep reading to learn about what you should know if you find this ‘jelly-like nut’ in your garden.
A person on Reddit in Oklahoma woke up one morning and saw something strange. They found a bunch of ‘yellow jelly’ in the trees and saw something they called a ‘jelly alien nut,’ which left them puzzled.
They asked for help on Reddit to figure out the mystery with the community’s support. They mentioned in the post that the tree was a kind of evergreen, but they weren’t sure of its exact name.
Right away, someone on Reddit identified it as ‘cedar-apple rust,’ a common name for a certain disease. This sickness needs two different hosts to grow fully. It usually harms apple and crabapple trees the most.
This disease shows different signs on various trees.
On a juniper tree, it looks like brown, lasting bumps grow on branches. As it grows, it makes orange jelly-like horns during rainy springs. Sometimes, the branch beyond the bump dies, but the juniper tree isn’t otherwise harmed.
