Having found a newly broken Oaktree branch, with Mistletoe plants established, can this be used to produce Mistletoe.

The shoots already have signs of leaf development

    Not sure if I've understood correctly.

    Is the mistletoe on a branch that has broken off a tree? If so you can't get it off that branch and onto another one

    Yeah, the only way to propagate mistletoe is from seed.

    Notcutlet,

    yes the mistletoe is growing on a branch that was broken off a sawn down tree.

    If there are any berries left on it you could try pressing them into a branch of a tree in your garden
