Cytisus proliferus, tagasaste or tree lucerne, is a small spreading evergreen tree that grows 3–4 m (10–13 ft) high. It is a well known fertilizer tree. It is a member of the Fabaceae (pea) family[3] and is indigenous to the dry volcanic slopes of the Canary Islands,[4] but it is now grown in Australia, New Zealand and many other parts of the world as a fodder crop.
