Atth Johnboy re Mistletoe

[Chantal]

Thanks, your parcel arrived for me this morning. I'll be out and rubbing before you know it!

[Tigger]

You know you corrected Piglet's spelling? Would you like to review your turn of phrase. I think it may be open to misinterpretation by those who have no idea what you're talking about!!

[Chantal]

Ooh you smutty minded Sherrif you, JB sent me some mistletoe berries which I need to rub into my apple tree bark.

My correction for Piglet was his Italian, nothing more than that.

[Tigger]

He sent me some too actually!!!

What do we do with them now?

[Chantal]

According to his email

"To sow the berries it is best to just press the berries into a bark scale. Do not rely on one or two as the mice and birds may find them."

I did have it in the back of my mind that they can be poisonous. As my apple tree is over the chicken run, would this be a problem? Are they poisonous to some and not others?

[Johnboy]

Hi Chantal,
I rather think that the Berries will not do the Chickens any harm BUT I do not know if they may pass some toxins on in their egg. I do not quite know where to go for advice. Hoping John may read this as he is sure to know or at least know where to enquire.
