December word - Outdoors. Mistletoe

My Favourite tree situated in the grounds at Burghley House near Stamford. I love the way the balls of mistletoe grow in the tree.
Taken quite a few years ago I must get back to see it again one day soon.

@marlboromaam thought you would like to see my mistletoe too.

Oh my- I had never seen the way mistletoe grew in trees before this (I knew it was from a tree just not how it grew). It looks so crazy- as if the tree is holding a cheer leader's pom poms! Good shot!

Lovely shot and silhouettes, we used to have one in our garden in Germany many years ago.

At our previous house we had a number of native blue oaks. We had to keep the mistletoe removed. It is a fungus and would kill those trees.

@wendyfrost Excellent! You've got the stuff of myth too!

Such a pity it grows so high up!
