just wondering if anyone has any in there area.
when i was working construction in Va., we were in an area where it was plentiful.
there was a young kid that would climb 40-50' and get his crew members some then he would sell the rest

During Christmas is when it is most plentiful. It grows in doorways and ceilings every where I go. I hate it because every where I go someone is trying to kiss me. I guess I'm just loveable.

Hey Hillbilly, wanna come stand in my door way?

Yep thats right I said it.

It is the season after all.

tcox4freedom · 12-09-2012, 01:00 PM

Yep!
We have several trees on our property full of it.

jjmitchell60 · 12-09-2012, 07:33 PM

It is all over the place here. How much of it do you want! Mind now, many states do not allow it being it is a parasite carried by birds from tree to tree.

dbcooper · 12-09-2012, 07:51 PM

Mistletoe is a parasitic plant, generally you'll find it growing in hardwood trees.

It has barbed leaves with white or red berries.

The Mistletoe is the State Flower of Oklahoma.

LOL- That's funny right there.

Blackhawk Dave · 12-11-2012, 08:35 AM

Grows on the old blackoaks down here. So low we can actually pick it off the tree from the road side.

68c15 · 12-11-2012, 12:23 PM

so Oklahoma has a parasite as their mascot?!

howlnmad · 12-11-2012, 01:16 PM

Quite a bit of growing around here.

I've got a beltbuckke with some on it.

Old Grump · 12-11-2012, 01:24 PM

Had a lot of it growing wild where I grew up in Northern Wisconsin but none where I live now in SW Wisconsin.

I told the wife that when she gave it to me. She said that it's not meant to be worn outside the house so I'm safe.
