Happy National Mistletoe Day!!! Mistletoe is the common name for hemiparasitic plants that attach to their host tree or shrub and extract water and nutrients from them. Mistletoe spreads and grows relatively slowly and is rarely considered an immediate threat to tree health. Healthy trees are able to tolerate a few mistletoe plants with little harmful effect. It is tremendously valuable to wildlife, particularly birds and insects. For most property owners, the presence of mistletoe should be considered a sign of a diverse ecosystem.
