El Toro Circle, No. 510, Tucson. Mistletoe once thought to hold magical power By The Associated Press For 5,000 years, mistletoe was revered around the world for having special, even magical, powers. Why? Probably because in winter, when other plants looked dead, the mistletoe, above the ground between heaven and earth, was green and bearing fruit. Among the wonders attributed to mistletoe were the abilities to find buried treasure, keep witches away and prevent trolls from souring milk.

All that and kissing, too! Worldwide, there are more than a thousand species of mistletoe, and most are found in the tropics. All mistletoes are parasites, taking water and minerals from a host plant, usually a tree. Biologists believe mistletoes evolved in areas where water was scarce or the soil lacked minerals. Many mistletoes are quite different than those used for decorations here in the United States. In the Holy Land, mistletoe growing on acacia trees has such brilliant red flowers that the tree seems aflame.

Some people have thought this was Moses' burning bush. Australia has a mistletoe that is treelike and can grow to 35 feet. It blooms around the holidays and is Australia's Christmas mistletoe. The juniper mistletoe grows on juniper and cypress trees from northern Mexico into Texas' Trans-Pecos region and on to Oregon. It has pendulous, leafless clumps and many thin branches.

The American mistletoes, also called Christmas mistletoes, grow on trees such as oaks, elms; maples, cottonwoods, and mesquites from central New Jersey south to the Gulf Coast, west to New Mexico and into California. Their broad-leafed branches form spherical clumps. One of the largest reported was the size of a cow and weighed 50 pounds. In the fall, mistletoe produces spikes of berries. Within each berry is a seed coated with a sticky substance.

The berries of, American mistletoes are eaten by songbirds such as bluebirds and mockingbirds. Some of the seeds stick to the; birds' bills, but birds are tidy, eaters they wipe the seed off on a nearby branch where they can; sprout. Seeds are also deposited in bird drippings.
