Default Spring is on the way ...

The message
from "Kate Morgan" contains these words:

Now that I am here can anyone tell me when trying to grow mistletoe do
you
squash the berries into cracks on top of the branches or underneath ?


I believe they are best where some run-off keeps them moist when it
rains, though I've seen the stuff growing from virtually every position
imaginable.

Well, practically, not virtually.

Be sure to get berries from British-grown mistletoe, as much of the
Christmas supply is imported from the Continong, and some varieties do
not do well - if at all.

Thanks Rusty, I will have a go tomorrow. An old tree in the next field has
just blown over and it has lots of mistletoe growing on it so I will use
the berries.
