Witch's broom

Dwarf mistletoe, also known as witch's broom, changes the natural structure of the tree.A dense mass of shoots grows from a single point, with the resulting structure resembling a broom or a bird's nest. Easy to find on the forest floor, they can become objects of art as well. The first rendition was Zelda the Witch Mobile. Actually she was the first sale for Crooked Wood Designs, a happy witch lover took her home.

Zelda is wonderful, Carolyn. You need to take some witches to the local craft fairs this summer!

Thanks Carol. When I am out from under the garden, (soon) I may do that. I now can name them and have a good supply of Wbrooms. Do you have any more around your house? save them. CWD
