myrtle rust

We have only had one plant affected thus far -  a Eugenia jambos or Rose Apple.
I initially carefully pruned off affected parts but it soon recurred so that plant has been taken out- fortunately it was still quite small. As we have lots of Myrtaceae plants in our garden I didn't want that one plant acting as a focus of infection.  Interestingly we have other  Eugenia jambos and they seem clear of this disease  - so far anyway.
