5. What parasitic shrub frequently used for indoor decoration grows on the high branches of different kinds of trees?

{{Shrub | name = Mistletoe | latin_name = Santalales | image = MistletoeInSilverBirch.jpg | image_caption = Mistletoe on a Silver birch tree | description = Mistletoe is a plant parasitic on the branches of a tree or shrub. The species grow on a wide range of trees, and can eventually prove fatal to them where infestation is heavy, though damage more commonly only results in growth reduction. All mistletoes are hemiparasites, bearing evergreen leaves that carry out some photosynthesis on their own, relying on the host mainly for water and the mineral nutrients it carries.
