Whats also amazing is how much of it there is when you know what your looking at, from my observations always similar but never identical..

The big bushiness of it kinda gives it away, but yea, in some cases its hard to ID them.

Has it evolved that way so arborists are less likely to remove it?

Another mistletoe found around here on Casuarinas is Lysiana subfalcata. It has more normal shaped leaves and is sometimes yellowish. I remember both types being common on forest oak (Allocasuarina torulosa) along the Expedition Range in central Queensland. Pics can be seen of a few varieties here: North Queensland Plants Adam, There are several other species of Lysiana, this is just one I am familiar with to help you along. RM |

Hi, Here is couple of photos of mistletoe off a Platanus x hybrida This particular mistletoe looks nothing like the host tree canopy...   The tree was lousy with mistletoe, and please forgive the quality of the photos as they are taken from my phone as it's alway with me...well most time anyway.
