Q – We have let the mistletoe dominate our old apple tree. The mistletoe started as a small bunch but over time it has increased so much the tree has some sorry looking branches. It has been suggested we remove as much mistletoe as possible, flush with the bark. If we did this would it return vigorously next spring? We want to keep the tree if possible. Please help.
