Mistletoes are a large group of plants that are parasitic on aboveground parts of woody trees and shrubs. These perennial flowering plants have specialized roots that are able to pe*****te the host plant to derive water and nutrients.
Mistletoe attaches to host trees like oaks, willows, apples and pines, taking water and minerals, while also photosynthesizing. It is often spread via bird droppings, but some species eject their seeds. While a popular decoration, it can stress trees if heavily infected.
Mistletoe is poisonous to humans and pets, so please be careful when using it in decorations.
