	Gorse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gorse (Ulex) comprises a genus of about 20 species of evergreen shrubs in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae, native to western Europe and northwest Africa, with the majority of species in Iberia.
		Gorse is closely related to the brooms, and like them, has green stems and very small leaves and adapts to dry growing conditions, but differs in its extreme spininess, with the leaves being modified into 1-4 cm long spines.
		Gorse is a fire-climax plant, very well adapted to stand-replacing fires, being highly inflammable, and having seed pods that are to a large extent opened by fire, thus allowing rapid regeneration after fire.

	Gorse
		Gorse is a fire hazard (Amme 1983), it outcompetes native and beneficial plants causing considerable loss of grassland habitat, and the seeds are viable for 30 years or more, requiring a long-term management plan for control.
		In Washington gorse is reported from 11 counties west of the Cascade Mountains, with an estimated 800 acres in Pacific Co. Gorse is a Class B noxious weed in WA, and it is also a quarantine species – it is illegal to buy or sell this species.
		Gorse is a Class B noxious weed in OR and CA, and it is a noxious weed in British Columbia, where it is found primarily on southern Vancouver Island and in the Gulf Islands (Invaders Database).

	Gorse spider mite
		Gorse spider mites have sucking mouthparts that pierce the walls of individual gorse foliage cells and extract the cell contents.
		The gorse spider mites are blown in the wind to land on gorse further away, or they crawl onto neighbouring bushes and form new colonies.
		Gorse spider mites are now well established throughout the country and it is unlikely that there are many areas that are not yet infested.

	Biocontrol of Gorse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Gorse is a pioneer or successional species that thrives in lowland and lower montane habitats throughout New Zealand.
		Gorse plants have early reproduction and produce seeds that remain viable in the seed bank for over 40 years, so even if adult plants are destroyed, regeneration is likely from the seed bank.
		The gorse soft shoot moth is native to western Europe and it was first imported from the United Kingdom by the DSIR in 1983.

	DPIWE - Gorse
		Gorse is undoubtably one of Tasmania’s significant weeds of concern.
		Gorse seed is too heavy to be dispersed by wind and birds are generally of little significance in seed dispersal.
		After a dense gorse infestation has been removed and the pasture established, it should be subjected to periodic heavy grazing by sheep during the spring and summer to prevent the establishment of gorse seedlings.

	Gorse
		The two species of gorse in Ireland flower at different times, one in spring, U. europaeus, and the other, U. gallii, in autumn, so there is rarely a week of the year when some flowers cannot be found.
		Gorse was formerly used for fuel and was a good fodder source for stock once its spines had been crushed, usually with large stone rollers or wooden mallets.
		Mountain gorse (Ulex gallii Aiteann gaelach) is also a bushy shrub but is a smaller, darker green species than the previous one, less hairy and with smaller deeper yellow flowers.

		The feeling is that gorse is incredibly difficult to control, threatens to take over major areas of land within the forests as well as on the headlands, and that prohibiting herbicides was like tying one of their hands behind their back when were facing a brutal opponent.
		The gorse plants in the patches were relatively small, but were flowering indicating that they were old plants not seedlings.
		CDF wants to burn gorse in Jughandle as a primary control measure, and this area north the creek is a prime candidate.

	City grapples with resilient weeds
		Stories differ on how gorse came to Northern California and Oregon just over a century ago, but there is no doubt somebody brought it from Scotland or Ireland, where it is held in check by poor soil and harsh weather.
		Gorse has overrun Bandon, Ore., and is blamed as the main reason the coastal town just north of the California border burned to the ground in 1936.
		While gorse doesn't spread as quickly as some other plants, such as cape ivy, it is known to be particularly tenacious.

		Although host testing has shown the rust to be specific for gorse, the identity of the fungus is in question.
		The rust fungus (Uredo sp.) on gorse has been shown to be virulent and host-specific, but the lack of a telial state causes its identity to be uncertain.

		The Caspar area gorse infestation offers a precious "teachable moment" during which it is possible for visitors and residents alike to understand the risks of losing native biodiversity, and the effort required to restore it once it is compromised.
		Gorse infestation is a very long-term problem — the seed is viable for thirty years, and the plant is allelopathic and regenerates from small bits of root left in the soil.
		Gorse infestation is not limited to Caspar; indeed it is a major threat to public and private lands in Oregon, Hawaii, and several other states.

		It is a far stronger kind of downheartedness than the Gentian state, because Gorse people almost wilfully refuse to be encouraged, so certain are they that their case is hopeless.
		Gorse is however classed by Dr Bach as a remedy for uncertainty, and not as a remedy for despair like for example Sweet Chestnut.
		This demonstrates that the main problem with Gorse people is a loss of certainty: if they can be persuaded to see things in a different light their faith in their lives would be renewed and they could go forward with a surer step.

		The Golden Gorse (Ulex Europaeus, Linn.) is conspicuous in waste places and on commons throughout Great Britain, from its spiny branches and bright yellow flowers, situated on the spines, either solitary or in pairs.
		The Gorse has not as many uses as the Broom, nor is it of such importance medicinally.
		Gorse is frequently sown as a shelter to very young trees in plantations and as a cover for game and makes excellent hedges when kept closely cut, but is only to be recommended for this purpose in mild climates or sheltered situations, as it is always liable to be cut off by hard frost.
