Summer 2008 update: This is the old mistletoe.org.uk website - to visit the new site click here. Or just browse the old one. Some quick links for those who want news: Want to buy mistletoe? Try the TEME website Need news about mistletoe? Try the Mistletoe Blog Want to go to the Tenbury Wells Mistletoe Festival? Need mistletoe advice or media input? Try Mistletoe Matters Need mistletoe pictures? Try the Mistletoe Matters Picture Library MISTLETOE (ORCHARDS) WANTED! I am looking for orchards with plentiful mistletoe to experiment with long-term sustainable mistletoe harvesting.
Welcome to the Mistletoe Pages
	This website provides an introduction to mistletoes - not just the species we kiss under at Christmas - but also the many other species worldwide. The familiar mistletoe of northern Europe (pictured left) is a rather mysterious plant parasite, with a complex folklore, and, perhaps, serious potential in medicine.
	And it is just one of many hundreds of other mistletoes worldwide.  The American Christmas mistletoe, a different species to the European Mistletoe, is pictured below left .
	The site aims to provide some background on all aspects of mistletoes - their biology, traditions, use in medicine etc.  It does not claim to be a technical site - but provides links to some that are, and I'll try to answer any questions sent to me (email contact below). The site is written from a UK viewpoint - and there is inevitably less detail when non-European species are covered. Jonathan Briggs (jonathanbriggs@mistletoe.org.uk)
