What are 'witch's brooms'? I'm fascinated.

I've seen these clumps in the wild, and I always
thought it would be neat to grow something like that...

I look forward to finding out!

Pretty cool Sam. I picture you running around campus and driving around Northern Oregon, bumping into things and hearing the hum of lane dividers on roads as your glance is stolen by tree after tree searching for broom. What a great start to your life, a job in a hobby you love and school where you can get a solid foundation to work with and discover brooms between classes. Life is good! -Will

Hi Sluice, ad No.3 Pinus sylvestris. Last year IÂ´v found witch on it. It was so called driving car discovery and this winter heavy snow and wind destroy this pine... so my friendly foresters Milon and Wenceslaw help me... Another Pinus sylvestis must Milon climb... Good work... Jan wbgarden Here is a link that might be useful: wbgarden dwarf conifers

Hmm... the fact that the cones stay on the tree for so many years indicates that it may be P. attenuata.. But how many needles are in each fascicle? -Sam

Very good work. As always!

I have 6 brooms coming this year and will post photos in 25 days.

One already seen here. Abies borsii-regis already named 'F.R. Newman' if anyone want's to do a search.

The others: a ginkgo, 3 picea abies and one pinus sylvestris.

How are these grown once they're collected?

I'm interested in trying my own.
