Witches' Broom (fungus - Taphrina cerasi): This fungus causes large numbers of irregular small branches to develop on twigs and larger branches forming a witches' broom. Blossoms develop and the leaves come out on the brooms earlier than on the normal branches. Large numbers of brooms may eventually kill a tree. Cut and burn brooms.
