catbirdseat Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 There is a dwarf pine at the top of XY Crag in Icicle Canyon. This plant is infected with some sort of parasitic plant that I've never seen before. The plant doesn't have leaves per se. I believe the pine was a Ponderosa pine. Before now, I'd never actually seen a conifer infected. Any idea what species it might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 Did it look like this? Something like that, but the leaves more closely resembled nodules or scales. They weren't as fat as those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
