Mistletoe in ash trees?

I went on a kayaking trip to the weirs around Shepperton yesterday (cold but dry, and I capsized once, luckily just at the end as my feet got really cold!).

On the way there we passed a roundabout with trees with mistletoe in them. They could have been ash trees.

I have a couple of times hung mistletoe on one of the overhanging branches of my neighbour's ash tree in the hopes that birds would eat the seeds and then rub their beaks on a branch. No luck so far and thought this because ash trees are not one of those listed in the books as having mistletoe. But if there's a chance I will try again.

Round my way the mistletoe is not marked as British which I presume means it is not.
