How would one go about selling this 'valuable' crop !

What a good thought, and we still have rwo of those not far away
despite 4 supermarkets !
I wonder if I should try selling them bay leaves as well !

There is a mistletoe auction each year at Tenbury Wells.

Oh yes, just googled it, how interesting.

What trees are commonly adopted by mistletoe ?

Sorry, my bad,,
I meant what other trees (other than apple)

Well, poplar as I said below and as you already know. Other main ones
are lime, hawthorn, field maple, elm, sycamore and ash.

But it's been found occasionally on lots of other things - false acacia,
horse chestnut, turkey oak, japonica, walnut, cotoneaster, laburnum,
almond, cypress. All this from Mabey.


Typically old apple trees, one reason for its prevalence in
Worcestershire and Herefordshire. According to Mabey 'British Flora'
most of the supermarket stuff is now imported from apple and poplar in N
France. There are a number of other hosts.
