Gorse hedging (Ulex europaeus)

Online Catalogue | Gorse hedging (Ulex europaeus)

Gorse (Ulex europaeus)
There are lots of good things to say about Gorse used for hedging - it's native, evergreen, very very prickly and has a terrifically long flowering season from very early Spring (even when it still feels like Winter) until mid Summer. There's an old country saying "when Gorse is out of blossom, kissing's out of fashion!".

It's flowers are pea-like as Gorse is from the legume family - and they're the colour of egg yolks and very fragrant.

Gorse is particularly good on poor soils (even sandy soils or rocks) as long as it's well drained and it has nitrogen fixing capacit so it can improve the soil for the benefit of other plants.

It's not a fast grower (15-30cm pa) but will grow to 2.5m and is particularly recommended for intruder-proof hedging because its spines are so vicious. It's also very good for windy, exposed, coastal sites and historically was used as a windbreak which could be cut to provide animal feed. It's dense prickly nature provides good wildlife shelter. Whilst Gorse will tolerate alkaline soils, it's particularly good on acid soils.

Trim after flowering (wearing strong gloves!).
