  PINYON PINE DWARF MISTLETOE FIDL
Pinyon pine dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium divaricatum) is a damaging parasite of pinyon pines (Pinus monophylla and Pinus edulis) in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, and Utah (Figure 1).
Pinyon pine dwarf mistletoe female plants have greenish-brown, oval fruits and generally the plants are smaller and greenish-brown in color.
Although this is not known for pinyon dwarf mistletoe, as a general rule for most dwarf mistletoes, it is desirable to remove the infected overstory before the young stand is 3 feet (1 m) tall or 10 years old.

  Pinyon Pine
Pinyon often has a widely branching trunk and rounded form, and is rarely more than 20 or 30 feet tall, and often is much less.
Pinyon timber was used in building the early pit houses of Mesa Verde, from 400 to 900 A.D. Pinyon was well known to the builders of the later cliff dwellings, too, both for wood for roof beams (now used for tree-ring dating) and door lintels.
In fact the interdependency of the birds which cache Pinyon nuts and the life cycle of the nut tree itself is so pronounced that the Pinyon appears to have evolved to benefit from or adapt to the birds' behavior.

The Texas Pinyon or Papershell Pinyon (Pinus remota) is a pine in the pinyon pine group, native to North America.
The range is in western Texas, United States, on the south edge of the Edwards Plateau and the hills between Fort Stockton and Presidio, and in northeastern Mexico, mainly in Coahuila but also just into Chihuahua and Nuevo León.
Texas Pinyon was previously included in Mexican Pinyon, only being discovered to be distinct in 1966 when US botanist Elbert L. Little noticed that the seed shells of some pinyons in Texas were very thin compared to those of some others.

The edible seeds are occasionally collected like those of other pinyons, and sold as pine nuts; however, in its barren, dry habitat, infrequent and small crops are normal, reducing its economic value.

Texas, with its variety of soils, climate, vegetation, and topography, as well as extensive coastline and offshore ocean, is the home of at least 184 free-ranging species of mammals.
The Texas Organization for Endangered Species and the Texas Natural Heritage Program database, administered by the Nature Conservancy of Texas, maintain lists of rare or watch-list species that may be in trouble.
Finally, several native mammals in Texas are now extinct, primarily as a result of overharvesting in the latter part of the nineteenth and early part of the twentieth centuries.

 Twoneedle Pinyon Plant Guide | Shrub Plant Guides
The edible nuts of pinyon and are in demand because of their delicate flavor and are probably the most commercially valuable product of the species.
Pinyon nuts are a preferred food for turkeys, pinyon jays, woodrats, bears, and other wildlife, and they are a common food for deer, particularly during harsh winters with deep snows.
Seed germination and establishment of the two-needle pinyon are best in the shade of trees or shrubs and probably depend on an adequate moisture supply during the first summer.

The state of Texas boasts seven of the possible eight North American jays; to wit, the blue jay, the western scrub-jay, the green jay, the brown jay, the Mexican jay, and the Steller’s jay, as well as rare cameo appearances put in by the pinyon jay.
Pinyon jays might better have been dubbed “little blue crows,” given their relatively small size combined with their jay-like blue color, yet crow-like build, and their habit of walking, not hopping, while foraging on the ground.
Pinyon jays are social during all seasons, traveling in flocks and nesting in colonies.

 Pinyon-Juniper Habitat
In Arizona, Pinyon Jays are permanent residents of pinyon-juniper woodlands and lower ponderosa pine forests in the northern and central part of the state (Balda and Bateman 1971), ranging east to Natanes Plateau, west to the Hualapai Indian Reservation, south possibly to Prescott area, and north to Mount Trumbull (Phillips and others 1964).
Pinyon Jays are nonmigratory but may exhibit irregular nomadic movements of hundreds of miles outside normal range during fall and winter when pine seed crops are poor (Balda and Bateman 1971, Phillips and others 1964, Westcott 1964).
Breeding is apparently triggered by abundant pinyon pine seeds which are harvested in fall and early winter and cached in breeding areas for use during late winter and early spring.

The populations are all disjunct, found in isolated mountain ranges (a situation that certainly implies this species is more widespread during periods of reduced temperature and increased moisture availability, such as during the late Pleistocene).
