A quite well-known, native, British shrub, the Common Gorse (Ulex europaeus) is noted as a prickly, evergreen shrub.  Found throughout Britain, commonly on acidic soils and poorer soils where it thrives.  Gorse is quite likely to be confused with Broom, because of its pretty, yellow flowers, which bear a striking resemblence to the flowers of peas.  Its pods burst open in summer scattering its seeds considerable distances.

Benefits of using our plug plant trees

Our Gorse plants are sold as plug plants, in other words the roots are encased in compost. This means that planting can be carried out at any time of the year, provided they are watered in periods of drought, compared to bare-root plants which can only be planted during the plants normal dormant period (November to March).  All of these trees are UK grown, which is important for successful establishment.
