Mistletoe


Did you know that mistletoe is a parasitic fungus? Read about it here on wikipedia.  Around here on the golf course there are many trees devoid of leaves (it is the middle of winter after all!)  But high up in the bare branches are clumps of green leaves.

The traditional way of harvesting mistletoe is shooting it down.  Read about it here.
