Started having these problem on the new fruit.
Never had it before.
Can anyone identify it and suggest a solution.
Those tiny growths leave an orange stain on your fingers.

That is probably Cedar or Quince Rust.
Here is some information from Cornell.bb

Thanks Brady. Looks like that’s it. Why it’s happening this year for the first time is a mystery.
The other asian pear shows some of the same fungus and it’s about 75-100 feet away
I had some Immunox already so I sprayed 'em both … as well as an apple.
Hope it’s not too late in the season.
Thanks again.
