Witches brooms are a natural phenomenon that occurs in softwood tree branches. Somehow the genetic structure of the growing branch is altered. This can be caused by stress from pests, bacteria, fungi or viruses. Once infected the branch no longer grows normally. It starts to form dozens of smaller branches all from a central place creating the broom itself. Typically in time the entire limb dies off leaving behind the tell-tale broom high in the forest canopy. This is where we come in, scouring the deepest and darkest of woodlands, hiking up ridges and down into the valleys to bring these unique brooms to you.

Each and every broom we discover and sell is truly ‘one of a kind”. Like snowflakes - no two are alike and this is why your purchase of a Maine Witches Broom is so unique. So embrace your inner ‘witchiness’ and enjoy these magical and enchanting feats of nature from Maine.
