White Pine blister rust crew, 1919

Contributed by Maine Forest Service

Description

A Maine Forest Service White Pine Blister Rust work crew in the field in 1919.

Blister rust is a fungus that causes blisters that grow to large cankers on white pines and weaken the trees. Eventually, needles turn rust color.

The disease spreads through ribes -- gooseberries or gooseberries -- rather than from tree to tree.
