"Inevitable" I don't think so TTIT.

If you think about it, if the mistletoe kills the tree then the mistletoe also dies, that's not how nature works.
If it did kill the tree then the Adelaide hills would be full of dead trees. Which it isn't.
The mistletoe may contribute to the stress level in tree in times of drought ect, but it's not the primary cause of the tree dying.
Sorry to rain on your party, but I think mistletoe killing trees is a misconception.
