That's a very nice giant Picea glauca broom!

It remembers me to the Picea glauca 'Burkwich' found by Greg Williams from Vermont.
He mentioned that the size of that broom was as big as a Volkswagon...

Very nice Harv. Congrats. It took me forever to find my first broom. Chub Harper and his friends already scoured all my hunting grounds.

It seems like after you get that first one more just keep showing up.Good luck and congradulations!Doug

I'll bet you were floored when you saw that big-un up there!
Time to start thinking of a good name.
congrats!

My wife and I were riding 4 wheeler around the area on gravel roads just looking at the corn, something us former farm boys do.

==>> OK .. that cracked me up ...

with the inches and inches of rain in the last few weeks... lenawee county corn is head high on the 4th of july ... what happened to that whole knee high stuff???

second pic.. does that headstone say fletcher... ???

congrats

Our corn is about the same Ken. With the genetics in todays corn I think the whole knee high thing is a thing of the past. You got me wondering on the headstone so I enlarged the photo says "Pletcher", make a good name for the broom. Picea gluaca 'pletcher'. Least I guess a person can do for the person who's been under that broom this long

Great find!

Harv, thats a nice broom! And your wife is pointing them out for you,you are a lucky man. My wife is my broom hunting good luck charm for me,but never points them out.How do I get her to do this? LOL! Best wishes with the graftings!

A very nice find, Harv. Looks to be a winner.

Is it the angle or is there a headstone at the base of the tree?

tj

'Harvey's Wallbanger' or 'Harv's Wallbanger' would be another good name.

Cheers ;)

Thanks all, I never noticed that by the tree. Looks like a grave marker, I'll have to check next time I go there.
