From what I've red the quince rust attacks only the fruit and the fruit will become spongy and inedible but I would definitely pick a few and cut them in half to see what the inside looks like. Here is a link that might give you more information.

It does affect the apples trees and apples. The galls are creepy enough, like wrinkled brown golf balls covered with dimples.<br />So out of each dimple has grown an orange gelatinous yucky tentacle.

I usually just cut my galls off with clippers then throw them away in a plastic bag. There is not much you can do for the fungus once on apple trees. Sometimes spray help but I don't think they help too much. Cut the damage out and plant resistant varieties in the future. tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-89280116692917760072011-05-26T13:41:11.344-05:002011-05-26T13:41:11.344-05:00You can see the inside of a gall on his first pict...You can see the inside of a gall on his first picture, bottom-left. It's yellowish and sort of hollow. I had them all over my cedar and picked them off... but the apple tree nearby now has rust-colored spots! Argh! Does anyone know if burning the galls releases spores in the air? I might be better off just bagging them up and throwing them out.Wyvern Dryke the FloxMonster™https://www.blogger.com/profile/05340384314419993304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-83252560678104402232010-05-01T21:27:08.557-05:002010-05-01T21:27:08.557-05:00has anyone dissected one of these galls? i would m...has anyone dissected one of these galls? i would most certainly like to see what's inside!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-25609806047232940212009-04-15T21:10:00.000-05:002009-04-15T21:10:00.000-05:00I don't have much problem with galls, but I see th...I don't have much problem with galls, but I see them around my house in some of the wild areas.

I've bought it to treat our fire ant problem (not very effective at that; what is?!), but the label says it's also quite effective against fungus and mold infestations. You can find a concentrate online or at Lowe's or Home Depot.
