_The Mistletoe on the Oak_ (Vol. ii., pp. 163. 214.; Vol. iii., pp. 192.
226.).--MR. BUCKMAN calls the Poplar and Lime native, and the Sycamore
and Robinia foreign trees, and adds that the two latter are
comparatively recently introduced.
Without doubt, all four are foreign, except the Asp among Poplars, which
is a native tree. And the Sycamore was introduced into England long
before the Lombardy, and I think before any of the Poplar tribe.
I have seen the Mistletoe propagated by seed inserted, with an upward
cut of a knife, under the bark of an apple-tree.
On the Oak I have never seen the Mistletoe. The late Mr. Loudon, when
shown it on an oak on the estate of the late Miss Woods, of Shopwyke,
near Chichester, said he had only seen it in one other instance.
