· Mistletoe Rating Diagram

The following procedure which uses Hawksworth's 6 class rating system will be used to rate dwarf mistletoe infections:

Step 1: Divide the crown into thirds

Step 2: Score each third

No Infection = 0

Light Infection = 1

Heavy infection = 2

Light Infection -one-half or less of the total number of branches in the third infected.
No prominent witches'brooms.
Heavy Infection -more than one-half of the total number of branches in the third infected or
one or more witches'brooms.

Step 3: Add the 3 scores together to determine the mistletoe rating for that tree.

Example:

/\- 0
/\

/ o \ - 1

/\
/ o o\- 2

/ o \

0 + 1 + 2 = 3

The mistletoe rating for this tree is 3.
