Roundwood & District News 24th of April 2023


Witches’ brooms as seen on these birch trees at the Vartry Reservoirs are not bird nests. The ‘brooms’ are caused by a fungus which create the woody deformities on a twig of the tree. Years of growth can make big brooms which is probably why they got their name from their resemblance to a witch’s broom!
