Unknown small shrub

[Gerdk]

Last week I came along this shrub which grows near the sea in the dunes. Probably it is an introduced
species (in N.E. Germany).
Hopefully there is someone who knows what it is.

Hi Gerd,

It looks like an Amorpha or something related to it. The leaflets have a greater distance between them than the ones here, but if those are unripen seed pods than that too is familiar. I would think at least the Fabaceae family(?)

Sorry for not being more exact, but it probaly is something that would not survive here.

Hi Robert,
Thank you. That was really quick. After googling I think it is Amorpha fruticosa - 'well suited for poor, dry and sandy situations'.

Gerd,
I thought of Indigofera sp. as a possibility.
