Saw this fruit tree covered in mistletoe today in what appears to be a small orchard near Glastonbury. There’s an interesting map from the 1990s showing distribution of mistletoe in England and Wales: www.surveys.mistletoe.org.uk/index.html 1/2

Fruit tree in an orchard. Most of the leaves have fallen off the tree but it is still green as has a lot of mistletoe growing on the branches.

This tree is right at the southernmost end of the most dense population of mistletoe, according to the map. I live close to the border with Herefordshire which has lots of orchards, most of which seem to also have an incredible amount of mistletoe.

Map showing distribution of mistletoe in England and Wales. There are dots on the map, with so many in the West Midlands down to Somerset that the map is solid black in this area.
