Hallo all. A belated happy christmas. I was given a big sprig of misteltoe with loads of berries on it.I thought I would try and graft it onto a tree. Has anybody else tried to do this and what was the success. Thanks for any answers.

I have done it but you must be patient. Sometimes the berries take a while to sprout. I squashed mine into cracks on an apple tree not expecting anything to happen. Hey presto, a year later I saw mistletoe leaves.

Rogi, don't be surprised if your neighbors don't appreciate your efforts, though. Birds can spread the seeds far and wide, and some areas list it as a noxious weed!

Ignorance showing again! :/
Actually, I'm surprised, since apples are one of its hosts, and it is annoyingly hard to get rid of in an orchard situation.
