Thanks Willie.
That was a new word for me.

Fasciation

yes, Willie I thought the same thing, but I had never seen it before in the Raywoods.

Darin, you may be right as well, but I have never seen witches broom turn into this.

Poison Oak will get a similar thing. They say its the flower, yet you dont see it very often.

Ditto, I see it fairly often in shrubs.
The flatness sets it apart from witches broom

Interesting, I would say raywood is where I have seen it the most

I see it a lot on my Forsythias, just never knew the English word for it.

I get smarter all the time, hanging out here

I wonder if it has something to do with climate....First time I've seen it down this way...

I recall seeing it in Santa Rosa a few times but that is much more coastal influence than your country.
