Well the castle was built in the 12thC not long after the conquest, but the ruins are mostly of the later 13thC building. So I suspect this was a seedling that blew in some time after the castle was ruinous – however it may have been the offspring of a tree that witnessed the castle in its heyday, who knows.

An interesting contrast – both old in their own way. The stories they could tell….

Looks like a Tarot card and post title sounds like that too 😉 I have never seen a mistletoe tree. Infact I think I relate to it as a Xmas decoration but never wondered about the tree. Thanks for sharing this.

The Mistletoe is a parasite on the Host tree, I cannot remember what the host tree was, a reason for another visit maybe :). I had never thought of a photographic Tarot deck, that is an interesting thought.

What an intriguing photo! There’s the relationship between the tower and the tree. Then as I look closer, the wall and the cattle in the distance. It’s a place to stimulate the imagination with stories.
