Mistletoe

Phoradendron villosum

 

á      Mistletoe is a parasite that lives on oaks at the DevilŐs Punchbowl.

á      Mistletoe means dung-on-a-stick.

á      The ancient people thought that the plant had healing powers.

 

Comments: Mistletoe doesnŐt look interesting until youŐre under it with that special someone. On the trail it looks like brush. It doesnŐt always have berries.

 

My favorite part of the trip is when we crossed the river and some people fell in.
