I'm having fun just imagining what you need it for.

Because the berries can be poisonous, maybe many have eliminated it from the celebrations. If you know anyone with a weapon and live rurally, you can have it shot out of many trees.

Years ago we ordered it from the florist. Now most people use artificial mistletoe.

I haven't seen any real mistletoe for years. The last years that I did see it they replaced the berries with plastic beads. Now all I can find is plastic or silk sprigs.

I live in eastern Oklahoma we have it all over our trees out here. But I haven't seen it in stores in a long time.

I used to see it at Christmas tree lots, but we've had a fake tree now for 6 or 7 years so I haven't been to a tree lot in a while.

Do tell, what do you need real mistletoe for? *wink, wink*

It's another one of those "OMG It's poisonous" things. "Get rid of it" trumps "be careful".
