They are looking for the best way to get rid of you by making fake news without mercy. It is the result of people who feel jealous of you. We will incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if what they share with us about this plant would aid others in growing it.When you dream of seeing a broom, this indicates that people with long tongues have spoken more than they know about you. We also note those observations we have made of it as it grows in our nursery garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. The information about Senecio praecox displayed on this page is based on our research conducted about this plant in our library and from reliable online resources.

Our thanks go out to our friend John Bleck who has continually supplied cutting wood as we worked to determine how to root this unusual plant. The long bare branches without their leaves can look a bit like a broomstick, giving the plant the common name of broomstick tree, though the common names in Mexico are 'palo loco' (crazy tree) or 'palo bolo' (silly tree) because this plants odd structure and flowering that occurs at the end of the dry season in habitat, well before other associated plants. The specific epithet means "very early", "earlier" or "premature" in reference to the flowers coming out before the leaves. The name Senecio comes from the Latin word 'senex' meaning "old" or "old man" in reference to its downy head of seeds and Pittocaulon is in reference to the pitch (pitto) that is evident on the stems (caulon). Some current nomenclatural databases however have gone back to the original name of Senecio praecox and so we have followed this treatment out of convenience. We first listed this plant using the name Pittocaulon praecox in our 2009 catalog and continued to use this name until 2016. 26 pg 451-453, 1973) and this plant became a species of Pittocaulon, a genus with five species that all come from the drier areas of central and southern Mexico. In 1973 there was nomenclatural work that removed this plant from the huge Senecio genus (Brettell, R D Robinson, Harold Ernest, "Studies in the Senecioneae (Asteraceae).

This pith is surrounded by a thin cylinder of xylem which is in turn surrounded by a thick, water-storing bark. These stems, often showing scars from the leaf bases, consist of a thick water storing pith that expands when water is abundant and shrink as the stored water is used through the dry season. After flowering two to four new branches appear at the point on the stem of the inflorescence, creating the unusual and gawky looking form that seems better suited to a Doctor Seuss book than real life. We believe this plant hardy to around 25° F as it has withstood short duration temperatures to this low in our nursery and several Santa Barbara area gardens during the Janurary 2007 cold spell when temperatures dropped to 25° F three nights in a row. Tolerant of fairly dry conditions in summer months, though this is its growing season so will grow better with occasional summer irrigation.
