    Hi:

    I'm looking for mistletoe seed/fresh fruit. Can anyone give me pointers to where I can either purchase or pick some?

    Thanks

    Viscum album is a European mistletoe species; being a parasitic plant, there is a high risk it could become a damaging pest species if introduced to Canada. Its introduction may well be illegal.

    If you want to grow a mistletoe, select a local native species which won't cause ecological problems.

    If it is in fact the case that you are not already familiar with this topic try surfing "growing mistletoe" to see what is involved.
