    Oh gosh I didnt know about that disease. Maybe I might be safe from up here. I live in Shetland so the climate is much wetter and colder, so maybe that will keep the disease at bay. Maybe not. ...

    Anyone identify this large shrub?

    I think the leaves are wrong for any genista that I know … and the only genista I know that grows as big as the OP’s is G. aetensis (the Mount Etna Broom), and I’m pretty sure it’s not that. :)
