witches' broom
A witches' broom is a disease or deformity in a woody plant, typically a tree, where the natural structure of the plant is changed. This disease causes a dense mass of shoots to grow from a single point, with the resulting structure resembling a broom or a bird's nest. It can be caused by various types of pathogens, including fungi, insects, mistletoe, mites, and viruses, among others. The witch's broom can stunt or inhibit the growth of the plant overall and result in its death.
