Get your grill cause that's mistletoe.

My grandpa always said mistletoe means that a tree is going to die though.

Knock it out and package it in December and sell it.

Looks like parasitic plants. I think the correct word for it in English is "witch's broom".

Get those in quite a few trees round here, usually birch. They aren't bird nests. They aren't mistletoe.
They seem to be random clusters of twigs that form for no reason, twigs are the same wood as the tree. It is an odd phenomenon, if anyone has the real scientific explanation please share.
I've always assumed those trees have natural choke points within their branches that act as traps for loose falling twigs, which accumulate over time...

Trips confirm, they are indeed witches brooms.
>if anyone has the real scientific explanation please share.
I know of a virus that causes them on multiflora rose http://extension.psu.edu/natural-resources/forests/news/2013/multiflora-rose-the-mixed-blessings-of-rose-rosette-disease .
>Rose rosette disease has many symptoms. It is most often recognized by a rapid elongation of new shoots, which often form clusters of small branches or “witches brooms.

Mistletoe.
It's a vegetal parasite. They just grow on trees, leech the sap and make white berries that you can't eat but the birds can. It is used for some traditions all over Europe.

Do you Yuros have those mistletoe belt buckles over there? They're a hoot, the grills love them.
>>
>>758470
It's everywhere.
The day of the new year we use one as a ceiling decoration and we kiss each other under it. When it wear its berries, we use it as a door or wall decoration. It also mean a lot in pagan religions.
