Le gui sur cedrat/Mistletoe on citrus medica

I recently visited the Bâle/Basel Botanic Garden in Suisse/Switzerland.

Two large flowering Poncirus, but I couldn't find the Poncirus X Limon which they list in their living plants database. A gardener I asked couldn't find it either!

I was interested in a potted Citrus medica which had a parasitic mistletoe, Viscum album, growing on it. I don't know whether it was by chance or deliberately grown there.
Has anyone seen mistletoe on citrus anywhere else in Europe? (I know it can be a pest in parts of Africa.)
