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.
