| I had a bunch of Willow and Cottonwood come down last year that were loaded with mistltoe. I composted it separate from my other compost and it has broken down nicely. I am aware of it's toxicity. My question is does composting it break down the toxicity? Can i use it for fruit trees or blueberrys? |

| I would be careful using the compost, since animals can also be poisoned by mistletoe leaves or berries. Water run-off from the compost may also be toxic. I guess the real question would be, "Does the composting process breakdown the toxicity?" |

| Yes that's my question for sure. |
