Year 1 - Trees are bought in as 1 year old whips on dwarfing rootstocks and                        planted in 40lite grow bags with a compost/manure mix 

            - Mistletoe seeds are placed on the trees to begin the germination                              process

Year 2 - Trees grow onwards and are pruned to keep shape.

             - Mistletoe seeds germinating successfully will start producing shoots                      and potentially small leaves depending on speed of growth

               Mistletoe Trees ready to sell now

Year 3 - Mistletoe growth will continue, leaves approximately 3-5cm, plant tree                as soon as possible to let it establish

Year 4 - Mistletoe growth will speed up, forking develops  and bunching occurs.

Year 5 - Mistletoe (female) will likely start producing berries, growth                                    continuing at a fast enough pace to allow spriggs to be removed                              annually.

N.B all of these are general timings, some trees and some mistletoe plants will differ. 

I have a range of trees currently growing, most of them are ornamental crab apples that provide a range of colours and sizes of tree to suit you garden.

I am also trialling some different varieties and species so please ask if you want something not ont he list above.

Size:

The majority of my trees are 4 - 6 feet (1.2 - 1.8m) in height. I have kept some shorter so please enquire about this when ordering. 

Mature heights will vary. On these rootstocks trees will approximately be from 2 - 4m in height and spread about 1 - 3m (variety specific). Trees may be pruned and kept to height as necessary. 

Any questions?
