Free: Berried mistletoe cuttings for propagating (Caldecott OX14) Withdrawn I'm doing some more thinning out of the berried mistletoe clumps in my apple trees. I did offer cuttings earlier in the year, which were collected by several Freeglers. It is getting past the best time of year for propagating (by squeezing berries onto branches, especially apple trees) but does anyone else want to give this a go?

Free: Mistletoe cuttings (Caldecott OX14) Gifted We are pruning our apple trees and will have to remove some of the large clumps of mistletoe, while leaving plenty for the thrushes. Would anyone like a handful of berried cuttings to see if they can propagate mistletoe growth on their own trees? Press the berries against branches, just like a bird wiping its beak. Best on apple trees, though some other kinds are OK. Update: Still plenty available on the tree that will need cutting out later.
