Parasitic Dodder On A Tree Stock Photography

Dodder is a very aggressive parasitic plant that has the potential of severely altering the composition and function of riparian areas, as well as affecting ornamental plantings and agricultural crops. Japanese dodder looks very similar to thick diameter spaghetti noodles that are bright yellow-orange. It can completely engulf host plants and often drapes to the ground. It can kill large portions or the entire host plant within two to three years after infestation.
