Spreading Mistletoe Branch with Smooth Foliage
Mistletoe is a unique evergreen plant that grows high in tree canopies instead of rooting in ground soil. Featuring smooth, oval-shaped leaves growing in opposite pairs, the woody stems divide repeatedly to form a spreading structure. Small round berries mature late in the year, nestled at the stem joints.
How Mistletoe Grows in Forest Canopies
Mistletoe is a hemiparasitic plant, drawing water and mineral nutrients from host trees like apple, oak, or poplar while producing its own food through photosynthesis. Birds feed on the sticky berries and deposit seeds onto tree branches, where the seeds sprout directly into the host bark without needing ground soil.
