I have some shoots from a berry bearing tree (don't know what it is) and a mulberry tree both parent tree's were here when we bough the place. I was pruning the chutes to keep them as a natural fence of sorts and I noticed there are insect eggs all over the place on the one next to to mulberry they are like an orange/rust color and wherever the eggs were laid the leaf was orange as well. Anyone know what that could be?

You might check with a local state or federal agricultural office. If you have a nearby state university, there might also be someone in their bio department who could help. They might be able to ID the eggs and tell you what you might need to do to get rid of them.

Yhea burrito is right you have to ask an expert about what is that, you don't know maybe it is dangerous and not usual. Here in my country were very aware of insect egg because we are alarm of dengue that cause of mosquito bites.

Mosquitoes breed in standing water. If you have water outside which is not flowing and which stands for 7 or more days, mosquitoes can breed there. This is true for swamps. Fish or frogs (tadpoles)can help prevent this because they will eat the mosquito larva that hatch in standing water. Buckets or pails, open drums, old tires, are excellent places for breeding. I used to work for the county mosquito commission during the summer while going to college.
