No problemo, Joshua :)

I see, then perhaps these are dwarf mistletoes (Arceuthobium sp.). http://www.apsnet.org/edcenter/intropp/lessons/miscellaneous/Pages/Dwarfmistletoes.aspx

Sorry for the late response. It was a young Ponderosa Pine.
Jae
Interesting find, Joshua. They look like buds to me, do you perhaps remember what species of tree you found these on?
