Ah, memories of my youth in the Irish hills and the prickly gorse bush
with it's gorgeous yellow flower that blankets the landscape. So any
chance it might grow here in the US, Zone 6???


To answer your question without the accompanying silliness, zone 6 is too
cold for gorse - it requires a moderated, more maritime climate to thrive.
Probably a good thing, as it is incredibly invasive in areas where it can
grow and is considered a noxious weed. Its sale and growth is restricted.
Enjoy it in your memories - that's where it safely belongs.
