The first day in Poland we saw these
bundles of growth in the trees which we'd never seen these before!
President Engbjerg said he thought they were
mistletoe! And that is what they are!!
We have seen them in trees in Warsaw andLodz and the roads in between.
Some trees are very laden with them and
some only have one small one.
Go online and read about mistletoe. It is a very interesting plant.
Also find out why we hang it at Christmas time
and people kiss when they pass someone
under the mistletoe.
Sometimes this plant can kill the tree
it is attached to and sometimes it brings
more animals that do good into the area.
So it can be a blessing and a curse.

In one of my areas on my mission, there were a lot of trees that had mistletoe in them too. It's pretty cool to see how it grows.
ReplyDeleteThat is very interesting! You will have to post pictures when they are in bloom.
