I would appreciate any help you can offer!
This first problem I had Identified as "Cedar Rust". Does it look like Cedar Rust to you?

Here you can see a different problem ( I think) It appeared quickly and I am not sure if I am doing the right treatment:
As you can see the color is draining from the tip of the leaf back to the stem and the leaves are curling and some are starting to get brown and crispy.
I see a few little tiny light green bugs. That when you shake the branch fly , fall or jump off so I have been spraying Neem oil thinking they are a type of Aphid. I have also observed ants on the tree which kind of makes me think they are aphids but they are not all bunched up on the new growth like I am used to seeing They are sparsely located on the underside of the curled leaves

It seems the new leaves are looking ok but what do you think?

Should I continue with the Neem Oil ? Do I need to do something about the ants Like sprinkle with DE?
What should I attack both or either of these problems with?
I would like to stay organic if possible but since the trees are very young and there are NO fruit on the trees I suppose it is not as critical.
