Wikipedia definition
2. Witch's broomA Witch's broom is a disease or deformity in a woody plant, typically a tree, where the natural structure of the plant is changed. A dense mass of shoots grows from a single point, with the resulting structure resembling a broom or a bird's nest. One example of this would be cytokinin, a phytohormone, interfering with an auxin-regulated bud.
