My brother lives in the Cambridgeshire Fens (UK) near to the village of Crowland. Near to his house is a long, straight drove lined on one side with Lime trees. Until a couple of years ago one of these trees bore a fine crop of Mistletoe. Then some evil git shot the Mistletoe out of the tree (presumably to sell it for Xmas decorations). According to local opinion they probably used a shotgun.
