Thanks for clearing that up.  I'm sure juniper is incorrect.  I was relying
on Merriam-Webster's dictionary, obviously a very poor choice for plant
taxonomy, which defined "gorse" as "juniper".  Sorry about that, I should've
know better.  The plant description by Chamove indicated it couldn't be a
juniper.  Regrowth from stumps is a problem associated with hardwood trees,
not conifers.
