Mistletoe was connected with fertility (with some importance) in Greek, Roman & German mythology. A sprig of mistletoe was the instrument of Baldur's death (the goddess Freya had made all other substances on Earth swear not to harm him) , precipitating the Ragornak in Nordic mythology. Got a bunch of it on my trees.
