Rushcliffe Mistletoe Survey |
Introduction
Did you know Mistletoe grows in Rushcliffe? We know that Mistletoe grows on trees in West Bridgford and Radcliffe on Trent, but we want to find out how common it is in those areas and if it grows elsewhere in Rushcliffe. So if you know of a tree with Mistletoe growing on it, please let us know by answering the following questions.
Mistletoe in Britain grows mainly in the SW Midlands of England. Within that area most of the seasonal mistletoe harvest comes from traditional apple orchards - apple being mistletoe's favourite host tree.
Outside this area (and also within it) mistletoe's other primary habitat is in gardens where it is usually planted on fruit, particularly apple trees. It also grows on many other trees. Mistletoe supports a wide range of wildlife, some of which can be rare and adds value to the biodiversity of an area
Your response is welcomed and will be shared with partner organization's to help protect our wildlife in Rushcliffe
