Flowering and seed dispersal of dwarfmistletoe (Arceuthobium campylopodum in California

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Under the short growing season of the Sierra Nevada, both flowering and seed dispersal of Arceuthobium campylopodum occurred earlier in the fall and dispersal extended for a shorter duration than at lower elevations and along the coast of California. Also in years of above normal surrmer temperatures, flowering and seed dispersal occurred earlier in the season than in years of below normal temperature.
