On the east and west coasts of North America, common broom (Cytisus scoparius) was introduced as an ornamental plant (e.g.:California since the 1860s). It is known in much of the Pacific Northwest as Scotch broom. [14] It has become a naturalised invasive weed, and due to its aggressive seed dispersal broom removal has proved very difficult.
Lepidospartum squamatum is a large shrub often exceeding two meters in height which takes a spreading, rounded form, its branches are coated in woolly fibers and stubby leaves no more than 3 millimeters long. These drought adaptations support flowering during hot summers when many plants are dormant, making it an important resource for pollinators.
Native broom grows as an erect or weeping shrub 1.5–6 m (4.9–19.7 ft) high and 1–2.5 m (3.3–8.2 ft) wide. It has a smooth trunk and ascending branches while the minor branchlets often droop. [8] The long and thin leaves are essentially petioles and measure 3–25 cm (1.2–9.8 in) in length. [9]
