The Western Australian Christmas tree is not only very attractive in flower but makes a significant contribution to bushland biodiversity. It has no close relatives and is vastly different from every other tree species on the planet.
Known as Moodja by the local Noongar people, this plant is actually a mistletoe growing in the form of a tree and is claimed to be the largest parasitic plant in the world.
In this video you will learn about several fascinating features of this unique plant, why it was named the Western Australian Christmas Tree and how it survives in harmony with neighbouring plants, in the natural bushland of the South West of Western Australia.
