Mistletoe news for 2011/12


It's another berry-rich harvest this season - for up-to-date news visit the Mistletoe Diary, or follow updates on Facebook or Twitter.



Most is, of course, harvested from traditional apple orchards in the southwestern midlands area of England.



The sustainability of that harvest, as old orchards become rarer, is becoming questionable and a new mistletoe/orchard project (the Mistletoe League Project) is being launched this season - aiming to build a picture of how mistletoe is managed in fruit trees (in orchards and gardens) and whether mistletoe prefers particular fruit varieties. For more information visit the Mistletoe League website.

The English Mistletoe Shop 2011/2012 ...


Looking out for some real mistletoe? Want to try Growing Your Own? Or just want a book about mistletoe, or some mistletoe-themed cards? Try the English Mistletoe Shop!

The English Mistletoe Shop sells mistletoe books, grow-kits, grow-kit gift vouchers and cards direct to the public. In the the 2011/12 season the shop is also selling fresh mistletoe - ideal at Christmas or for winter weddings. Details will be available from mid-October.

The EMS website has been revamped for the 2011/12 season - and the new site is now online and operational.

A speciality since 2010 has been a stock of "A Little Book About Mistletoe" by our own mistletoe expert Jonathan Briggs. This will be joined by the Kindle Book of Mistletoe from mid-November 2011.

Do note that most fresh mistletoe products are seasonal: white-berried mistletoe is only available from November to March, and Grow-kits are only despatched from February to April (though they can be ordered anytime). If you need 'out-of-season' mistletoe do let us know.
