I had no idea it grew as far north as that - Only seen it before in the south west. I'll say it as well - lucky you!

Steragram is right, Mistletoe is rare out of the SE of England, so you are lucky. Apple is the preferred tree for it to grow. I have put some seed into a cut in some Birch trees in my garden (from Christmas Mistletoe from Tesco). Not had any luck yet!

Whilst 'thefence' may live in Cumbria, the question does say that the tree is in Kent ;-)))

Yes, that's mistletoe. It just appeared, lucky you. Others try for years to grow it, with no success.
