	Broom (shrub) - Definition, explanation
		Brooms are a group of evergreen, semi-evergreen, and deciduous shrubs in the subfamily Faboideae of the legume family Fabaceae, mainly in the two genera Cytisus and Genista, but also in five other small genera (see box, right).
		All the brooms and their relatives (including Laburnum and Ulex) are natives of Europe, north Africa and southwest Asia, with the greatest diversity in the Mediterranean region.
		Many brooms (though not all) are fire-climax species, adapted to regular stand-replacing fires which kill the above-ground parts of the plants, but create conditions for regrowth from the roots and also for germination of stored seeds in the soil.

	Shrub Information
		A shrub or bush is a horticultural rather than strictly botanical category of woody plant, distinguished from a tree by its multiple stems and lower height, usually less than 6 m tall.
		An area of cultivated shrubs in a park or garden is known as a shrubbery.
		Shrubs in common garden practice are generally broad-leaved plants, though some smaller conifers such as Mountain Pine and Common Juniper are also shrubby in structure.

	Species: Cytisus scoparius, C. striatus
		The worst infestations of Scotch broom occur from British Columbia to central California, from the coast to the inland valleys: primarily west of the Cascade Range in Washington, Oregon and west of the Sierra Nevada in California [27].
		The leaves of Scotch broom and Portuguese broom are deciduous early in the season, or at times of stress, and both have green, photosynthetic stem tissue, with the ratio of woody to green material increasing as plants age [35].
		Although Scotch broom is difficult to grow in the hot valleys of California [75], its occurrence in dry habitats and value for stabilizing sand dunes [62] implies a certain degree of drought resistance [59].

	Savvy Can Keep Desert Broom in Check
		In common with the jojoba bush, broom is dioecious, which means male and female flowers are borne on separate plants and cross-pollinate.
		In November and December, the female shrub is most lovely--and most obnoxious--as it exercises two survival strategies assuring species continuation: it blooms later than most of the competition and it blooms bounteously, producing a super-saturation of fruits.
		In the desert wilderness, broom's takeover habit is held in check because the undisturbed desert floor patina, with its intact plant communities, resists germination.

		French broom is thought to have been introduced to the San Francisco Bay Area in the mid-1800s as an ornamental [11] and has since become invasive in California, southwestern Oregon, and Washington [57].
		Germination of French broom from the soil seed bank appears to be induced by fire, as high seedling densities occur after a single fire [1,12,13,20,49].
		French broom invasion is thought to be responsible for reducing arthropod populations by 1/3 in Golden Gate National Recreation Area (Landforn and Nelson 1992, ctied by [11]).

	Paghat's Garden: Cysitus scoparius
		Broom rarely displaces our state's several wild vacciniums, for example, when such shrubs are already heathily established.
		In grasslands where it is not stopped by existing native shrubs, broom certainly would be capable of eliminating all smaller native species in its path, including grazable wild grasses.
		This means, by & large, humans beat the scotch broom to the draw in wiping out native plants from the broom's preferred environment.

	HONEYSUCKLE WITCHES' BROOM APHID
		At first, only the appearance of the shrub is affected, but continued feeding over a period of years often stunts the honeysuckle's growth, eventually weakening it and contributing to the shrub's death.
		Pruning is of little benefit if the shrub is part of a large planting, or if there are many untreated and unpruned plants nearby, because the likelihood of re- infestation by winged females from nearby plants is high.
		If honeysuckle witches' broom aphid is a problem that you don't want to attempt to treat yourself, or have been unable to successfully treat this problem in the past, consider contacting a reputable landscape care service.

		Scotch broom is a pioneer species known to displace native plant species and increase the costs of timber production.
		Seeds of Scotch broom are long-lived (50 years plus) and mature plants are prolific seed producers, establishing persistent seed banks requiring long-term management objectives.
		The largest costs attributed to scotch broom come from additional inputs needed to establish trees in commercial and public timberlands.
