It is Solved!
The “seed pods” that I recently posted are not seed pods after all. I posted the photo on Instagram and asked if anyone knew what it was and the answered was revealed.
Cedar-apple rust fungus or the technical term Gymnosporangiu, jumiperi-virginiana. It takes approximately 2 years to get to this point. I have seen these before, without all the orange things hanging down, and assumed it was a seed pod.
Thanks for visiting!

Is that a pest? (Like kudzu in the South?)

It is a Fungus. I never heard of kudzu before. According to Wikipedia it does come/invade New Jersey.

Not that I am aware. A lot of the fungus things are up kinda high.
