Most were very high up in the trees near the top. There was one that was on a 
tree that was only 10 to 12 feet tall. That one was maybe 4 feet off the 
ground. Tow of them, the two biggest ones, were about 12 feet up.
I've seen them in all sizes of trees, at all heights above the ground. I even 
found a tiny one growing on a knee-high tree one time. I find them fascinating 
to look at. And they are very common. Oftentimes you can stand in one spot and 
look all around you and see 3 or 4 of them, if you look hard enough.

Barry,

I know a horticulturist in CT who propagates dwarf tree forms from witches 
brooms.  How high up are these?

I saw roughly 9 or 10 witch's brooms today in my short walk in Wharton State 
Forest. I photographed 8 of them, and here are 4 of the coolest ones.
Hope you enjoy. The trees are of course Pitch Pine.
