Mistletoe

I found this mistletoe on my walk the other day. I will be back nearer Christmas when it should have some berries.

@arthurclark Thanks Arthur, this bunch was about 2 people high. I’ve never seen it growing this low before.

@ninaganci Thanks Nina, it’s actually a parasite plant that grows on other trees, in this case a sycamore. It is spread by birds either through their poo or from their beaks as the berries are quite gluey. The bunches are normally very high up in the trees so it is unusual to see one growing so low.
