Trees of Mistletoe

This mistletoe is the most I have ever seen and sits in a gem of a place.  Any ideas where you can see this much mistletoe in one place?

All mistletoe  are hemi-parasite plants, bearing evergreen leaves that do some photosynthesis, and using the host mainly for water and mineral nutrients.  Once the mistletoe establishes a permanent connect to the host, it pretty much stops any photosynthesis and just leeches off the host plant.

Too much mistletoe can kill a tree.  Are these in danger? On another topic, any snow planned for  this week?
