English Broom Control Without Toxic Herbicides

Effective, chemical-free treatment for English Broom using Swedish thermal technology. Protect native vegetation, bushland and environmentally sensitive areas without relying on herbicides.
What is English Broom?

Why English Broom Is a Problem in Australia

English Broom (Cytisus scoparius) is an invasive shrub that spreads rapidly through prolific seed production. Dense infestations outcompete native vegetation, reduce biodiversity and increase bushfire risk in affected areas.

Once established, English Broom can dominate roadsides, bushland, forestry areas and disturbed land, making long-term management difficult.
Challenges with Traditional Control Methods

Why English Broom Is Difficult to Manage

English Broom produces large quantities of long-lived seeds that can remain viable in the soil for many years. Traditional control methods often require repeated treatments and ongoing monitoring to prevent reinfestation.
Rapid spread into bushland and disturbed areas
High labour and maintenance costs
Large and persistent seed banks
Ongoing herbicide applications
Increased bushfire risk
Long-term monitoring requirements
