Anyone know of a place in Davis, California, where I can purchase some (real or fake) mistletoe? Thanks in advance.

Hey Monty!

Try a Christmas tree lot - many of them have mistletoe for sale as well as trees.

If all else fails, Wal-Mart usually has the fake stuff.

Merry Christmas!

Some years back, I waited till the last minute to look for some mistletoe and I found some at a convenience store - just a thought.

Happy hunting!

Thanks! Luckily, I don’t need the stuff until the 3rd of January.

Mistletoe grows on trees in that area, IIRC. Try going down by a river or marsh, and checking trees there.

Oak trees. I just checked on enature, and Pacific Mistletoe grows wild on Oak trees in that area.

Happy Hunting!
