Dave,
While I have employed dwarves, and found them highly useful,
mistletoe removal just does not seem to be their forte. The
best use for a good dwarf is in pruning densely-crowned
trees (hawthorns, for example) or root-collar excavations, at
which they particularly excel. Their rather short arms min-
imize their value in pruning, and I view mistletoe removal
as a bit of stretch for even the most talented dwarf.
