You really do need to remove them. I have a lot of beautiful, mature Cedar Elms on my property and I have my arborist remove it all every couple of years

It is indeed mistletoe. Shaving it off does nothing but slow it down some. It will regrow.
If you remove an infested branch you can get rid of it, but this looks to be on the main stem.
It typically isn’t a massive problem for Cedar Elms, but can cause some deformity and weakness in the wood.

What is this mistletoe looking growth? Hear me out: it’s mistletoe. 🤪 On the plus side, you might have a holiday cash side hustle.
