Management brief
Ulex europaeus
Fabaceae · 2 Hawaiian specimens · 1937–1995
What this means for control work
Fruit has been recorded Feb to Apr. Treat before it, not during.
This window comes from specimens collected outside Hawaiʻi — 15 of them — because only 0 Hawaiian specimens carry a scored date. It shows the shape of the species’ cycle. It is not a Hawaiian calendar, and it should not be used as one for scheduling.
Ants move the seed short distances and bury it, which is why the soil seed bank outlasts the plants above it.
Falls where it stands. Local, which makes containment realistic if the timing is right.
