But the most characteristic feature is the growth of bunches of slender, twiggy branches dur- ing the summer and autumn, from the crotches and upon the older branches. These wiry shoots bear narrow sickly leaves of a yellow color, and, being produced in clusters, give a characteristic appear- ance to infected trees.
