Arceuthobium vaginatum
Also called Southwestern Dwarf Mistletoe, Pine Dwarf Mistletoe
Arceuthobium vaginatum, called the sheathed dwarf mistletoe or southwestern dwarf mistletoe, is a parasitic plant found in the southwestern United States and northwestern and central Mexico. It generally is found on pine trees.
Dense growths of A. vaginatum twigs are favored by Abert's squirrel as a location for nests, due to providing concealment and support.
