Mistletoe

The dark evergreen foliage and white berries of Mistletoe, provide us with a decorative plant that adds a touch of mischievousness to our Christmas decorations.

Mistletoe with berries

A long tradition of  kissing under the mistletoe at Christmas is still very much in vogue today but have you ever wondered why we do this and what other ancient traditions are associated with this mysterious plant.

We have found a fantastic website that tells you absolutely everything you need to know about Mistletoe.

Mistletoe Pages is a UK based website which aims to provide helpful information on many aspects of Mistletoe including, preservation, cultivation, biology, control, harvesting, medicinal and design uses.

Find information on Mistletoe events, book specialist speakers from the Mistletoe Consultancy and even buy bunches of Mistletoe or your own Mistletoe “grow kit”
