Description: | Gorse is a large and spiny shrub native to most of Europe. It is fast growing, and forms large thickets on thin, dry soils. Gorse has also become established in Canada, Chile, New Zealand and Hawaii, where it was introduced by Europeans. In these regions the Gorse has no natural predators and has become a significant threat to agriculture and native vegetation. Insect predators have been introduced from Europe in many of these areas to try and control it. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East plants natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
