Other claims from this paper (19)

Observation 46–54% of Acacia victoriae trees above 2 m were infected.
Observation Infected Acacia trees bore 5.8–6.7 mistletoes each.
Observation Mistletoe seed establishment on host branches was 11–24% after 12–23 months.
Observation Most naturally dispersed mistletoe seedlings established on branches of 20 mm diameter.
Observation Natural mistletoe dispersal to uninfected trees was 2 to 12 seeds per infected tree.
Observation 24% of 122 young mistletoe clumps comprised multiple mistletoes.
Observation There were 27 double infections at a single point on a host branch.
Observation There were two triple infections at a single point on a host branch.
Observation A sown mistletoe cohort reached canopy diameters of 152–170 cm within 18–23 months.
Observation Half of a sown mistletoe cohort flowered 15 months after germination.
Observation The largest mistletoes had a maximum canopy diameter of 250 cm.
Observation The largest mistletoes had a maximum proximal host branch diameter of 100 mm.
Observation Modal mistletoe canopy diameter was 80–120 cm.
Observation Modal proximal host branch diameter was below 10 mm.
Observation 60% of host trees died from 1990 to 1995, balanced by recruitment.
Association Larger host trees were more likely to be infected.
Association Larger host trees supported more mistletoes per tree than small trees.
Association After removal, larger host trees were still disproportionately reinfected.
Association Previously infected host trees were more likely to be reinfected.
