Arceuthobium siskiyouense is a species of dwarf mistletoe known as knobcone pine dwarf mistletoe.

The most widespread naturally of the closed-cone pines is bishop pine (Pinus muricata), which can be found along the coast from Humboldt County, California in the north to the northwestern corner of Baja California in the south. Knobcone pine (Pinus attenuata) forests can occur further inland, on dry, rocky soils.

As the trees grew careful measurements were taken of the height, diameter, size, limb growth, form, frost resistance, flowering, fruiting, etc. Trees with desirable traits were selected and cross-bred with others to create hybrid trees. For example, the Monterey pine was bred with the knobcone pine to produce a tree that had the fast-growing ...
