The Witch's Hand Riddle

[helgi]

Beneath a flag that doesn't waver,

A tree that's slain might well bear fruit,

And though the flag might not find favor

There's little failure of salute,

The witch ensures the flag's repute,

And keeps a wicked garden,

The branches one and all astute,

Are tangled begging pardon,

And though the garden might be green,

You've never seen one thinner,

Its branches white will turn to snow,

The witch's hand will winter

---what are the branches, what is the garden, who is the witch, what is the snow?
