I've known folks to shoot mistletoe out of trees. It usually grows 50
feet or higher in the upper canopy.

I have a hillside behind my home containing quite a few wild maple
trees. Several have become infested with what looks to be mistletoe (a
parasitic plant).

This is killing my trees. I've tried cutting out the mistletoe, but it
just comes back. Is there some sort of an herbicide that I can use to
kill it without killing the trees?

The trees are located on a very steep mostly rocky mountainside,
in a mixed pine forest environment at around 7000ft. altitude in
Arizona. Any advice would be appreciated.
