	Publication #: B-1083 Date Published: 04/01/2000 Publication Author(s): Gary D. Franc F.A. Baker

Description:
"Dwarf mistletoes are parasitic flowering plants that infect conifers, especially lodge pole and ponderosa pine and Douglas fir. This parasite robs infected trees of essential water and nutrients and causes them to produce fewer viable seeds. Recognizing symptoms of dwarf mistletoe and developing long-term management practices are the first vital steps for controlling this parasite. Dwarf mistletoes affecting pines and firs of Wyoming discusses the biology and reproduction of dwarf mistletoe and lists several important life cycle points that are vital for managing this parasitic plant. This four-page, full-color bulletin provides explanatory photos and straightforward information on the characteristic symptoms of dwarf mistletoe. According to the authors, "The death or deformation of a tree is important because it takes considerable time and money to grow a suitable replacement.""
