    No not a parasite.
    Mistletoe is a parasitic plant...it gets all its food from the tree it grows on.

    I've seen rowans seed into all sorts, which is why I mentioned it was likely earlier.
    If there's enough moisture and a suitable nook or cranny, they can germinate.
    They grow on tops of boulders on the lower slopes of hills,  in little bits of moss, heather and grass. I've seen them do the same, along with birches, hanging over burns, often in the water itself.
    They're  some of nature's greatest survivors :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    That's probably why I like them so much...

    I would always have the good old native one, before any of the others, in my garden :)
