It looks almost unreal - such circular bunches! Is it in 'our' area then??

I was struck by the sheer amount of Mistletoe on this tree, Pauline, hence the picture. It's funny you remarked on the circular bunches - I thought the same, as if they'd been added in the paint programme using the aerosol spray!



No, it's not in our area, it's way down saaf where all the other unfamiliar species live and hibernate!

Yes my thoughts exactly - in fact it looked as if it had been done with the old Leteraset sheets for adding bushes to architectural plans!!! I knew it was real and was hoping it was local tho I doubted that and knowing you go to Glos thats where I suspected it was!
