Ulex europaeus
Gorse, a european species wich was introduced to NZ, where it is now considered an invasive plant...For more details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorse_in_Ne...
I think the only solution is to leave it where it is...Eventually, the endemic NZ plant species will take over...
Nice photo. Obnoxious pest species. Seeds can stay viable for decades, so even removing all the plants doesn't do any good.
