(Cargana pygmaea)
Another compact nitrogen fixer with numerous applications. It is slightly more sprawling than the Globe Caragana and every bit as resilient. The tight, thorny shrub works well to create a low impenetrable hedge that can shrug off road salt and tolerate drought with it's dense, fine-textured foliage, it is actually quite attractive, especially in early summer when the small, bright yellow flowers appear. Mature size 100 cm (3') high x 120 cm (4') wide.
