Pine Mistletoe

As we were driving along, we came across an area of high infestation of Pine Mistletoe.

 

Pine mistletoes are parasitic plants which infect coniferous tree species.

 

There are 14 species of dwarf mistletoe which may infect conifers.

 

The parasite can be introduced into an area by planting trees which are infected, or by letting infected trees remain.
