DESCRIPTION:
Large-leaf mistletoes are evergreen broadleaf perennial plants that grow on woody plants,
extracting moisture and nutrients from their host. Leaves are thick and
nearly oval. Plants often develop a roundish form up to 2 feet (60 cm)
or more in diameter.
Mistletoe seeds are dispersed by birds. They also spread by sticking to
birds' feet and beaks or on equipment people use to trim trees.
See UC IPM's Mistletoe Pest Note for more
information.
