I was told that, if I squeezed the sticky mistletoe seeds out of the fruits and on to smaller branches, about one in twenty would survive.
In Oct. 2013, I collected about 20 seeds and did just this, then forgot all about them.
Two years later, I noticed a mistletoe growing where I had “planted” one on a Weeping Bottlebrush, and shortly afterward it burst into flower.
This might not be everyone’s choice of garden plant. But mistletoe flowers provide nectar and fruit for birds, and the caterpillars of quite a number of butterfly species feed on them.
