Then the dodder attacks! The stems have tiny parts

                 called haustoria that can pierce tree bark. The haustoria


                 suck out the tree’s nutrient-filled sap. Over time, the tree

                 dies—and the dodder survives.


                                         Dodder is found throughout North America and Europe.
                                            This red dodder is growing in the United Kingdom.
