Mistletoe

Farming Today

Mistletoe is now one of the symbols of Christmas. It grows only in certain geographical locations of the UK, and is often found in apple orchards. In this programme, Emma Campbell visits a farm in Worcestershire where the farmer is cutting mistletoe from his cider apple trees, ready to take to auction. She also speaks to a historian and botanist who explains how mistletoe came to have the festive cultural connections we associate with it today, and visits one of the country's last surviving mistletoe auctions. Produced and presented by Emma Campbell
