When is the best time to start growing a clump of mistletoe?

Our Advice:

The best time to propagate mistletoe is between February and March, when the seeds are fully ripe. You can store the sprigs in a jar of water until the seeds ripen. Press the sticky berries into a crack or crevice in the bark of a tree such as apple or hawthorn. The success rate is often higher if a young branch of 3-5 years old is used.
