The very top of this tree has a Witch\u2019s Broom. In this type of deformity, the natural structure of the tree is changed by having a dense mass of shoots growing from a single point. The resulting structure resembles a broom or a bird\u2019s nest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caused by fungus, mites, nematodes, viruses or bacteria, brooms are a rich source of new cultivars when parts are collected and later grafted. This is because the attacking organism can sometimes actually\u00a0change\u00a0the inherited growth pattern of the twigs.\u00a0 Brooms\u00a0thus provide the genetic source for many landscape plants sold at nurseries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amazing species (T. canadensis) is incredibly long-lived and can reach 1,000 years. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
