Mistletoe is a parasite.

a hemiparasite

It only grows in the warmer parts of the country, like Texas & Louisiana.

N-European mistletoe is bound to chalky soils

The preferred hosts are oak trees, as far as I know.

N-European mistletoe is almost never found in oak trees.
Typical hosts are poplar and apples

The seeds are sticky. They are spread in nature by birds wiping them off
their beaks.
