Mistletoe sexes.Upper female lower male dispersing pollen.
Mistletoe is a semi parasitic shrub growing on the branches of a variety of trees, perhaps, most commonly on apple and poplar but also on hawthorn, elm, sycamore, ash, cotoneaster, lilac, pears, willow, hazel, limes and several others. I have successfully grown one on Fremontodendron californicum (Californium Glory). Male and female flowers occur on separate plants (dioecious) flowering from February to April. The fruit is a one seeded berry.
