Australian harlequin mistletoe on she-oke
Mistletoe is an important natural component of the Australian environment, providing habitat for many birds, mammals and insects. Mistletoe is semi-parasitic, producing its own energy through photosynthesis, while relying on its host plant for the supply of mineral nutrients and water. Excessive mistletoe populations may indicate an imbalance in the environment, signalling a need for remedial action to create a healthier environment.
