How do you get rid of missletoe on a tree?



Answers:
For treatment of existing trees it is important to remove mistletoe before it produces seed and spreads to other limbs or trees. Mechanical control through pruning is the most effective method for removal. Growth regulators provide a degree of temporary control but repeated applications are required. Severely infested trees should be removed and replaced with less susceptible species to protect surrounding trees.

Hard to do...remove it from one place and it will pop out in another. Short of cutting down the tree I wouldn't know. Check with your County Extension Agent.
