The Palmbusch tradition is deeply rooted in the Salzkammergut. Every region, often even every place, has its own binding rules. In Weyregg am Attersee, we bind our palm bushes with 7 different evergreen branches. In Steinbach am Attersee, dry beech leaves of young beech trees are added, while in Bad Ischl the palm bushes are significantly larger and consist of a Krampen and a Stanglpalm, which is decorated with 4 apples and colourful ribbons in 4 colours.
No matter what shape, the consecrated palm bushes should ensure protection from disaster for people, animals, house and farm as well as a good harvest.
