Golden bough, with white and green

25 February 2017 by David

Golden bough, with white and green

The yellowish tinge of the new growth, the origin of the poetic description of mistletoe as the golden bough, with the old stems and leaves which stay green through the winter, and the ghostly white of the berries.
