Extract

Pineus floccus Patch is an occasional pest of ornamental spruces in eastern North America which produces unsightly galls at branch extremities. Damage to the specific alternate host, eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.), may result in lateral shoot injury similar to that reported for P. pinifoliae (Fitch) by DeBoo, Dimond, and Lowe (1964). However, outbreaks of P. floccus are uncommon, with populations regulated at low levels throughout most of its distribution.
