Phoradendron serotinum, commonly known as the Eastern mistletoe, is a parasitic plant that thrives on the branches of deciduous trees.
The phoradendron plant attaches itself to the host tree using specialized structures called haustoria.
Phoradendron species are hemiparasitic, meaning they derive some of their nutrients from the host tree but can photosynthesize on their own.
The fruit of phoradendron plants resemble berries and are often dispersed by birds and mammals.
