Growing from a ripe berry I pushed into a crack in the bark of an apple tree six years ago,
Comments on this photo
Amy - there are male mistletoes and female mistletoes. You won't get any berries unless you have both sexes growing close to each other.

Well done Andrew - I've heard more sob stories than success ones with trying to do this!

Stera - I must have at least six berries on the tree, but only one 'took'

Are you going to try again, hoping for a m/f partnership eventually?

That would involve sending away again for some more ripe berries, and then there's only a 50/50 chance of getting the right sex plant (after a three year wait).

I did know that Andrew but don't know which sex mine are ,I had 2 more but my son accidentally broke the branch off which they were growing on when sawing a branch off an Oak tree next to it , silly boy Ha ha .... I picked my berries up several years ago they had fallen from a tree in a churchyard ..
