My Rusting Tree

There's Rust Coming Out of My Tree, How Can That Be?

A few weeks ago, we got hit very hard with a hail storm.  I posted at least one picture here from that day.  It came it went and still we are seeing things that just are not the same as they were before.  Two of our three trees lost the majority of their leaves that day, but I did not expect to see more damage show up a week or so later.

I kept looking out my window at the two light colored bark trees and wondering why on earth my trees were rusting.  It's the weirdest thing.  Where some of the hail hit so hard it removed portions of the bark.  Poor tree.
