Abstract
Prunus armeniaca Linn. is a valuable oil seed producing tree species, planted in hilly parts of the Chakrata region of Dehradun district of Uttarakhand, India. Mistletoes attack various tree species and severely affect productivity. Aim of the study was to identify attack of mistletoe to important tree species. A survey was conducted in the Kathiyan and adjoining areas of Chakrata Forest division. It was reported that all the mature trees were invariably infested by the mistletoe.
