For the last couple of years I have been undertaking a
mistletoe survey of southern Oxfordshire and I have got to a point where I am
finding it difficult to record mistletoe in new locations. Therefore I am seeking
to add more records to the map.
To this end I have produced a blog which provides a form in
which you can enter mistletoe sightings http://oxfordshiremistletoe.blogspot.co.uk
The blog also provides more information about the survey,
and where mistletoe has thus far been recorded.
Headline results of the survey are:
-
Approximately 913 trees have been noted to
support mistletoe in Oxfordshire;
-
A total of 3316 ‘clumps’ have been noted;
-
The host tree species has been noted for 766
trees, with the host species including Lime, Poplar, Apple, Hawthorn,
False-acacia and Rowan.
Many thanks,
Ben
