In a Nutshell:

* It grows to 2–3 metres (7–10 ft) tall. The young stems are green, with the shoots and leaves modified into green spines, 1–3 centimetres (0.39–1.2 in) long. Young seedlings produce normal leaves for the first few months; these are trifoliate, resembling a small clover leaf.

* A very spiny deciduous shrub with lots of strongly fragrant 3/4" bright yellow pealike flowers in spring and sporadically later, leaves are few and small, often rather weedy, grows on sand, likes neutral or acid soil, needs full sun, native to Europe, naturalized in the central coastal states of U.S. Noxious weed in California.

* The species has been introduced to other areas of Europe, and also to the Americas, New Zealand and Australia, where it is often considered a weed and is a serious problem invasive species in some areas (notably the western United States, Chile and New Zealand). It was introduced to New Zealand from Scotland as a type of hedge, but became a major blight to farmers as the climate suited its growth better than its native habitat and many of its natural predators were absent. more...
