I never seen a real live mistletoe before other than I saw on tv where a couple kissing underneath. My mom pointed out and told me this is mistletoe in our backyard. At first, I was puzzle because all I see was a trees. However, I didn't notice there's something green on a tree that is bare... No leaves.. Just naked tree with a green leaves on it. I approach closely and pointed... that green-thing-y?? My mom nodded. I look at it closely. I couldn't resisit so I grab my camera. My mom asked me if I see any white berries. I was like... no I didn't. So my mom walked over and showed a few white berries on it. She warned me not to touch it since it is poision. If I happened to touch it then best to wash my hands.
Anyway, I didn't know that Mistletoe is actually a parasite and the tree is a host. Here's more info... Mistltoe-Wikipedia
A picture from my back yard, notice the brown branch is a tree and green branch is mistletoe?
Is this amazing? This is actually a Mistletoe... Next picture will be upclose of white berries...
There is two white berries, one is upclose blurring and other is more clear. Isn't beatiful?
