Dwarf Mistletoe

9. Mistletoe is only a parasite. (msh1208-9 and msh1208)

Dwarf Mistletoe (Arceuthobium americanum) on Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta). June 1995 Prince George, British Columbia. The mistletoe did so well that most of the needles on two of my pines had turned brown and the trees had to be removed. I Lost the rest of my Pine stand eleven years later when the trees were killed by Northern Pine beetle.
