Mistletoe

Are you hoping for a kiss under the mistletoe this Christmas?

With its white berries and rounded drooping leaves, mistletoe is often used in our Christmas decorations - but where do those traditions come from? Caroline Evans visits the mistletoe auctions in Tenbury Wells in Worcestershire and an orchard in Gwent to hear how this distinctive plant is good for wildlife and how it has become steeped in our folklore and festive traditions.

And the Country Focus team would like to wish all our listeners a joyous and healthy Christmas!
