Many of the trees here in the south have huge clusters of mistletoe, but it grows up in the trees, so don't know how you'd get it into the garden. GOOD LUCK? Have you searched about how you might do that?

I haven't. I suppose if I could get my hands on mistletoe seeds I could grow it.....

Meredith,
As Kaboehm said, it does grow all over in the South. Please be careful if you do end up getting some as it is a parasitic plant that will kill the host tree if allowed to grow large. I have seen many huge dead live oaks around here with the only sign of life being the big balls of mistletoe high up in the tree.

Per the web "It's worth applying 15 or more berries to your host tree, as mistletoe requires male and female plants to produce berries. The germination rate is also quite low (only one in 10 seeds becomes a plant), and some berries may fall off or be eaten by birds. It will take four to five years for the plant to produce berries."

This link might help....How to grow mistletoe. This site might even be better...and may have seeds: ? better site?

Meredith, are you sure that you're willing to sacrifice your extremely valuable trees to a parasitic plant? :-( Your neighbors might not be so keen on the idea.

@rhizo - I've been doing a fair amount of reading on mistletoe, and my research suggests that it is possible for it to live in balance with its host tree. That said, I will certainly be mindful of my mistletoe experiment so as to not try to create havoc, and if it starts getting out of hand, I'll adjust accordingly.
