    Mistletoe is another plant that is inextricably linked in Christmas traditions with Christmas and endowed with magical properties. A wreath of flexible mistletoe branches, decorated with evergreen leaves and pearl-like berries, must be hung above the entrance to the house or living room. There is also a tradition of kissing under the mistletoe, so that lovers are always together.

    True, many gardeners who want to grow this plant on the site, are disappointed: white mistletoe is common mainly in Europe. Sometimes it occurs in the western regions of Belarus and Ukraine, in the Caucasus and on the Black Sea coast.
    In principle, you can try to grow mistletoe in the surrounding regions. But for this you will have to sacrifice one of the trees on the site. Mistletoe is a parasite plant that settles in the forks of branches and takes root in the tissues of the host tree. Basically, it parasitizes on poplar, willow, birch, from fruit trees can settle on apple and pear. For witchcraft rituals they preferred to use mistletoe grown on oak. It was necessary to remove it from the tree with a special tool, without touching it, but also preventing the cut branches from touching the ground.
