Description: Height and age of understory red fir (Abies magnifica A. Murr.) were
related to dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobiilm campylopodum f. abietinum)
infection from the surrounding overstory red fir on four National Forests
in California. Percentage of trees infected and intensity of infection increased significantly as height of understory tree increased. Age of understory trees appeared to be closely related to infection in only the youngest age class studied.
Key Words: Arceuthobiurn campylopodum f. abietinum, epidemiology, predisposing factors, cutting systems, stocking density, Abies magnifica, disease control
