It usually grows on trees, you will rarely find it on small trees because birds like to perch on the branches of taller trees where the mistletoe seed drops and attaches itself to the bark. After a few days roots break through the bark and suck the nutrients from the tree. Basically the mistletoe is a parasite and grows on trees.
It grows on a variety of trees including apple trees, pine trees, and some oaks.
