    In response to Ken Moore’s article on witches broom. I believe we have a spectacular example on a mature Loblolly pine in our yard in Chapel Hill. I would attach a photo if I knew how but if you email me I can send one. Our address is 124 Beechridge Ct and you can see the tree on the LHS of the yard…you cannot miss it as it takes up much of the upper part of the tree. We are often asked about it and there is still some debate as to whetehr it is caused by insect damage when the tree was young or is a genetic deformity. ANyhow, it is worth a look

    Best regards
