Details

Status

"Although a serious pest at times, it normally stunts rather than kills its hosts. It can be a more serious problem with young trees and in cases such as Christmas trees where appearance is important. It has natural enemies and diseases, so large outbreaks are only intermittently seen" (BugGuide).

Relationships

"Hosts: pines (Pinus); 5-needled pines (Subg. Strobus) are preferred, but others may be infested as well" (BugGuide).
