Witches broom is a symptom of woody plants where compact clusters of numerous twigs and branches are formed. The mass of shoots comes from a common point, giving a broom-like appearance. The witches broom may last several years. Although some people consider witches broom unsightly, serious injury seldom results. |
| Witches brooms can be caused by various sources including mites, viruses,
fungi, mistletoes, insects, and nematodes. Knowing the type of host plant can help
determine the cause of the witches broom.
