Exe estuary 201602 – Witch’s broom

12 March 2016 by David

Witch's broom

Witch’s broom is a tangled mess of growth of shoots at the ends of the branches of various species of trees. It happens when there is an imbalance between the various plant hormones regulating growth as a result of the tree suffering one or other sort of infection.
