I had some really good instructions in my gardening magazine recently, but unfortunately I pass the magazine on to another gardening friend afterwards, so can't copy it for you now.

Have a read of this from the RHS though. You need to scroll down for the growing instructions.

P.S. I don't think you can use old berries from Christmas decs, you need fresh ones.

There are lots of trees all along the M5 Somerset way, covered in Mistletoe, at least I think it's Mistletoe. They aren't all apple trees either, some are those tall spindley trees, Poplars are they?

I think you're right Tiff, because apparently it can grow on Poplar, Hawthorn and Lime as well as Apple trees, although it seems mostly popular on cultivated apple trees.

Yes, it does prefer Apple trees but will grow on the others you mentioned as well.

Re: Your Bucket list

Nothing so elaborate as holidays, I just want to be around for January next year for Miss Madam's wedding.
This is the 3rd time it's been rearranged because of Covid.
