Mistletoe
Not really a gardening question, but looking at some mistletoe in local
gardens made me think. It is an evergreen, but in the UK uses deciduous trees/shrubs as a host. I wondered how it survives when the host is dormant for so long. It is said that evergreen trees and shrubs can survive cold weather very well providing their roots are not frozen. But mistletoe must have frozen "roots" if the host branch is frozen, so how does it deal with that situation? Or have I got that completely wrong? -- Jeff |
