Homeowner Forum / Lawn and Garden / December 2007What kind of bush is this?
http://home.comcast.net/~dl1027/files/object/foliage.jpg It looks like it grows wild in the forested areas of California. That's all I know about it. Thanks "dave" <nospam> wrote in message > http://home.comcast.net/~dl1027/files/object/foliage.jpg > > It looks like it grows wild in the forested areas of California. That's > all I know about it. It looks like broom (genista) but without a closeup of the flowers and foliage it's a bit difficult to say with accuracy. It could have become a weed plant in California as I believe parts of California has a similar climate to this country and it is an invasive weed here. > "dave" <nospam> wrote in message > >http://home.comcast.net/~dl1027/files/object/foliage.jpg [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > weed plant in California as I believe parts of California has a similar > climate to this country and it is an invasive weed here. Yes I thought that at first glance, but broom has pea-type flowers and its really difficult to tell if the flowers are pea like or not. Broom is a noxious weed here in Northern California, you are correct there. Our chapter of the Native Plant Society has a "broom bashing" group that goes out and pulls it up with weed wrenches. Its a very serious fire hazard. And crowds out native plants that are useful to wildlife. Maybe Dave could describe the flowers a little bit???

After thinking it looked like broom, Larrea was my second thought, However I have never seen Creosote in what the poster calls "a forested area" Desert, yes............ Dave, we need your help: describe the flowers if you can, and what/where is the forested area?? Emilie Thanks. Some good suggestions here. The photo I showed looks like it was taken in or near Seqouia Park which is in the sierras south of Yosemite. I'd say the elevation is about 2,000 or 4,000 feet. There are many pine trees there and this brush is mixed in. It looks to be 10 to 15 feet tall. The photo was taken in May at the height of the spring bloom. It looks like it has rounded green leafs with yellow flowers sprouting from leaf clusters.

There are multiple brooms and the foliage can be one indicator of what type it is. >>I think this is it. French Broom. >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > out the foliage more closely.
