The American Conifer Society writes, “A witch’s broom may be a broom used by a witch in folklore (a Besom) but in its horticultural sense it is more familiar as a diseased or mutated mass of dense deformed twigs and foliage forming a bird’s nest-like structure in a tree or shrub. They are the source of some of our most choice and beautiful dwarf conifers.” S. Stewart photo
Are there any activities scheduled for this weekend? Maybe at the Opera House or the park beside it? We’re coming down from Pittsburgh and just wanted to check to see if anything is going on that we should check out. Thanks, Nancy Pottmeyer
