Sam, every broom is a special one and also yours need to be propagated.
The thing is that your's isn't a small compact which most collectors are searching for.
Maybe Dax want to climb that tee ;0) or you can send him some scions this comming Winter...

Neat photo and I like the naming. I'm a firefighter and we have a 95' aerial platform ladder truck but I don't think my department would go for that.

Where were you vacationing? It looks like the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains here in Washington State.

RE: 'Maybe Dax...'

My witch broom climbing days are over. No left pectoral muscle after a previous injury climbing a tree in Oregon around 10 years ago. The next night, I got into a pushing fight with a room-mate and stupidly I grabbed his shoulders (my entire arm was purple - the whole thing) ...picked him up off the floor and slammed him up against a wall, holding him there to talk to him... then this guy yells for his Rottweiler dog! Which attacked me!!! ahh shoot, LOL. It was maybe two or three 'fights' in my entire lifetime I had gotten into, minus the Soccer field ;0) This all happened because I didn't turn off a kitchen light switch, after "I" washed all the dishes of these lazy muthaz's - prior to going to work that morning.

Dax

Good guess. That's right where it was.
So, should I risk my life trying to climb that tree to get the broom?

-Sam

I would. Take along a camera to photograph the mother broom within the tree. Wait till it's time to graft though (Dec - Mar).

Dax

Nice broom.

Something like this might work.

Here is a link that might be useful: pole

Well, since I'm only 16 years old, and this broom is nowhere near where I live; I'd have to plan a trip to go there and accomplish this feat. Maybe when I'm older..

Refreshing to see the youth of today taking an interest in these matters!

Nicely done Sam!

Thanks, Sluice! I just wish there was an easy way to get a witches broom out of a tree!

-Sam

Hi Sam-

It looks like that broom is located far enough away from town that you could get away with using a shotgun. That is by far the easiest way to get pieces of a broom that is out of reach.
