the roots are actually called haustoria. around here the berries have fallen already so the spread has typically occured already here. it also photosynthisizes so does make some of its own food. not trying to be snooty just a few things that stood out to me:)
they get stressed in the summer, we can go from may to october with no significant rain, thats when the mistletoe does its worst to the trees. we had a nice summer, at least one heavy rain a month, it was perfect, shortest fire season in a long time
for sure, some times in a year its got volleyball size clumps and other times in 5 years its softball size. still other times the tree can fight it off in young wood
haha brian, havent had that happen yet!
there is a little climbing but mostly from the bucket. id normally help but i dont want to take away hours from the guys this time of year, besides its boring:D
heres some pics from today. you can see our mistletoe problem, there are trees much worse than these but most of these are salvageable. nothing exciting but its our bread and butter here
