Mistletoe is good for the trees

I've no idea if you can access this (I'm a subscriber) but the link is to a New Scientist article about why Mistletoe is good for the trees, woodland and the animal life there-in.

Thanks for telling me you can't access it, It saves me posting further links from NS.

I would have liked to paste the article but they have quite strong IP conditions.

Hi Bryan,  It's just a case of setting up one's own account which is free.

Cheers
