Mistletoe

Mistletoe on hawthorn, near Ludlow. I don't know of it from anywhere in the North West, but there was quite a lot of it on my journey home between Hereford and Shrewsbury.




Mistletoe isn't a climber like ivy, it's parasitic and penetrates the host, growing inside it absorbing nutrients.
