I’ve lived in Texas my whole life and didn’t know that Texas is the leading supplier of mistletoe. The drought has apparently wreaked havoc on the supply of this Christmas tradition.
The story is the same in other places. One of the country’s largest suppliers, Tiemann’s Mistletoe in Priddy, Tex., has halted shipments for the first time in its 58-year history.
“If you have been kissed under the mistletoe and it was bought, there’s a 95 percent chance it came from us,” said Robert Tiemann, the owner.
