The hanging of mistletoe at Christmas to steal a kiss from a maiden may be considered sexual violence in today’s society but please don’t blame the mistletoe. Mistletoe is having a hard enough time! With the ever-dwindling UK apple industry meaning less and less host plants from which to grow on and steal nutrients and water from without giving anything back. So mistletoe are desperate for a helping hand! With this in mind why not consider growing your own mistletoe from seed – assuming you have a suitable host tree and a pair of organic disposable gloves? The best time of year for this is February/March and you should be able to get hold of viable seeds from on-like retailers.

The Cupra performance car brand from Volkswagen has teamed with 3Arena in Dublin to provide information about its range of cars, writes Brian Byrne. On the reasoning that music is very important in Irish culture and that the Cupra brand likes to be associated with music, the partnership means that over a million people attending gigs in the Dublin venue each year will have access to ‘touchpoints’ offering insights into the Cupra range. The models to date include the Formentor SUV, the Leon hatchnack and Leon Sportstourer, the Ateca SUV and the 100pc electric Born.
