Close... I think you are thinking of Gorse
from http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfp/pubs/interest/gorse/gorse.htm
"What is gorse?
Gorse is a dense, spiny, dull greyish-green shrub that typically
grows to about three metres in the Pacific Northwest. It has small
leaves that are generally shorter than its conspicuous spines. From
early spring, yellow pea-like flowers develop in clusters on the ends
of its branches becoming hairy black seed pods by late summer. A
typical shrub produces about 8000 seeds annually. Gorse seed can lay
dormant in the soil for up to 40 years and still germinate. Soil
disturbance during road building and tree harvesting present
opportunities for the successful germination of seed.
Gorse typically grows to a height of about three metres in southwestern B.C."
Three Metres is plenty high enough to get lost in!
