- Observation The haustorium connects with the xylem of young affected juniper shoots up to the perimedullary part of the pith.
- Mechanism Shoot xylem grows in the places of haustoria penetration, which the authors attribute to activation and synchronisation of host and haustorium cambium.
- Association The number of layers of the early spring part of the xylem increases on affected juniper stems.
- Observation Basal calyxes are formed at the base of the Arceuthobium shoot where it penetrates juniper bark.
- Observation The xylem and phloem of juniper stems connect with the hemiparasite conducting system through disjunctive haustorium fragments.
- Observation By 8 to 12 years of stem life the ectophytic part of the semiparasite system is destroyed.
- Observation Excessive thickening of the juniper shoot stops by 8 to 12 years of stem life.
- Observation Shoots of J. oblonga are affected by A. oxycedri up to 12 years of age.
- Association The depth of haustorium penetration depends on the age of the affected shoot.
