Here are a few pictures of a broom that I have been working on this year. I did my chop on this tree earlier than is usually suggested, the first of March. The first pic is how it looked 3 months later on the first of June. The second was taken just under a week ago (Oct 25). Its amazing how much growth these things will put on in a single season. It even has been pruned a bit, earlier in the year in order to even out the thickening of the five primary branches, and more recently I brought the shoots back a bit to make winter storage a little easier.
In the interest of full disclosure the first pic was actually taken in 2005, I foolishly damaged the tree that year and was forced to start again in 2006 with exactly the same process. I neglected to get pictures early this year so I am using the old ones for purposes of illustration.
