Viscum album var. coloratum is
a semiparasitic evergreen woody plant that takes water and nutrients
from a broad-leaf deciduous tree, such as Zelkova
serrata, Fagus crenata,
etc. Therefore, it's so easy for
V. album var. coloratum
to catch even casual observers' eyes only in the wintertime because
its fruit gives an attractive, bright yellow color. The seed can
stay attached to the tree surface and germinate as the mucous layer
envelopes it. Bloom time: February-March. |
