Home grown mistletoe

Well done you Andrew. I have tried for years, without success, to grow mistletoe from the berries. I tried on apple, sorbus, rowan and apricot but not a thing I'm afraid.

That really has taken well.

Good grief, you could start up a little cottage industry next year! Bunches of Mistletoe for sale .....

Sadly with no berries though. You need two plants - a male and a female - and you only tell what sex your plant is when you get the berries.
