it's parasitic, so when you finally get rid of it, people don't want to regrow it. how about the fake stuff for reasons stated above.

If you have an oak tree nearby, look up.......:)

That is where my brother found some for me years ago. He shimmied up the tree and grabbed a huge bundle of it.

We have lots of it in trees almost everywhere, both huge and small bunches.

When we were in Kentucky a couple weeks ago, we saw trees loaded with mistletoe. Brought back many memories.

Well girls and boys, I know it is a fungus and you see it in trees from time to time. My Grandson will be 18 yrs of age on Jan1st and he was looking for some. He has a girl friend. I would like some also because My dh and I will have an anniversary on Dec. 30th. I want to hang some in the hall way and hope for kisses under the fungus. I live in Arizona and I guess it is too dry around here for fungus and moss. When I see Moss anywhere I say "look there is some Moss".

Today I learned that misletoe grows on trees...never knew that before. Any particular kind of tree?

We have lots of it growing in our trees and around the area. However it is at the very top of the trees.

Well I certainly have learned a lot about mistletoe. first it is in trees, second may be poison related, third it's not available alive in shopping stores......wow! my vow to learn something new every day is surpassed by this board.

Oh the memories of my brother trying to shoot mistletoe out of the tree with his bb gun. Can you imagine today's kids playing around like that. We were entertained for days.
