Gorse Shrub Ulex Europeaus
Larger potted versions are available, contact us for a quote
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.
Gorse are not fans of overly wet or overly dry soils so keep this in mind.
Gorse shrubs can be planted as close as 4 per metre however this will give you a very wide hedge or screen.
If we are out of stock of Gorse shrubs and you needed it for Pheasant cover then you may want to consider Cotoneaster, Dogwood or Heather.
