This is the Desert Mistletoe forming a huge clump on another tree and probably in the process of killing it. Mistletoe is parasitic and weakens and often kills its host.

Several times on our hikes in Joshua Tree National Park we encountered this strange plant which we recognized as a Mistletoe and later identified as the Desert Mistletoe. Mistletoe is a parasite and in this case was growing on an old Juniper.
