Scotch Broom / Cytisus scoparius (Invasive plant)

This legume is a reliable perennial. In late summer, the dark dark brown legume seed capsules split open revealing several pea - like seeds. Scotch Broom is a notoriously quickly reproducing plant, which has given it's reputation as a noxious weed as well as a monoculturing invasive species. It was first brought over to western north america in the mid 1850s, and has since choked out many smaller plant communities. Very few native species have the ability to consume of this plant as it has Tyramine in juvenile shoots, as well as a host of other phytochemicals, therefore it has few natural predators and spreads like wildfire. Happy times folks! And remember to stop the spread of this plant, growing it only where responsible and where you may contain it, in accordance with local laws.
