Half or Hyper?

Mistletoe varieties are called half parasites. Some are called hyper parasites (because they grown on another parasite).

These are common viscum album, white flowering mistletoe. Being an evergreen they are well suited as Christmas decorations and beloved by sexual predators. But in case of this particular poplar it might be okay to speak of a super or hyper parasitic infestation.
