Last week I discovered a new (to me) cluster of trees all containing clumps of Mistletoe, and thought I'd walk that way again this morning to check out the broader area. Well, to my surprise I came across a tree more mistletoe than tree. Honestly I'd not seen a tree, especially such a small tree, so infected with Mistletoe, it's quite magnificent! Swathes of it are still bedecked in hundreds of clean white berries. It makes quite the show, although Mistletoe usually weakens trees and doesn't often kill them, this level of infestation on such a small host tree may not bode well for this hosts longevity. Still, what a sight to behold.
