Seedling Reports - 3 Robinia

Last, but certainly not least, the Robinia (False Acacia). There are several seedlings on this - it seems to be a peculiarly susceptible species. But none have developed true leaves - most seem to have been grazed like those on the willow. Several are fighting back - with new shoot primordia apparent from the edges - maybe this is a good thing - there'll be more shoots per seedling and so a bushier mistletoe plant...

2 yr-old mistletoe seedlings on Robinia - the ones on the right have been grazed and are re-sprouting
