 Donald Wyman writes the following in his encyclopedic _Shrubs
 & Vines for American Gardens_ (Macmillan Publishing, 1949-1974).
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

	Phoradendron flavescens		3'
			Zones 6 - 7	American Mistletoe

	FRUIT:		white berries in clusters
	EFFECTIVE:	fall
	HABITAT:	southern United States

	This is a parasitic shrub, one of several so-called
	mistletoes and only mentioned here because of its
	popular interest, not its ornamental value.  It grows
	as a parasite on many trees and has been 'cultivated'
	by slitting the tender bark of willow, poplar, maple
	or sycamore and rubbing in the seeds some time
	between January and April.
