MISTLETOE

© linnaeus

Trusty old Radio 4 informs me that this year has been a particularly good year for a plant I’m very fond of: mistletoe; there is a positive glut apparently. And I was very interested to see that tenbury-mistletoe are selling a ‘grow-your-own’ and even a ‘passion’ pack! But I hope you are aware that mistletoe is not just a plant under which you are supposed (some might even say obliged) to kiss, it is also a useful herbal medicine.
