475 SEK
Unit price per1st tree Tamarisk - current height:
- Height: 80-100 cm, Pot: C2
- Height: 90-110 cm, Pot: C4
Common name: Tamarisk, Salt Cedar
Scientific name: Tamarix tetrandra
Family: Tamaricaceae
Plant history & use:
The tamarisk is a striking tree with long flexible branches filled with plumes of pale pink flowers on bare twigs in late spring. The flowers then turn into small olive-green, scale-like leaves.
The tamarisk is known for its ability to absorb and concentrate salts in its plant parts. This is useful where there is an outlet for greywater. Greywater is the water that comes out when we purify used water from our kitchens and bathrooms - for example dishwashers, washing machines, showers, etc. When this water is purified, various salts often remain and follow out in the drainage. It is in these outlets that plants like the tamarisk are planted, which appears to be one of the most effective plants at absorbing salt from the soil it grows in. The inability to absorb excess salts in the soil can cause problems for surrounding plants, as it affects their natural water uptake ability through osmosis.
You can also grow the tamarisk as a shrub. If you do not shape it as a tree by pruning, it usually attains the structure of a shrub on its own.
Well suited to grow in mixed hedges as it creates a striking impression with its bright, pale pink shades that lift the whole hedge.
The branches are used for weaving baskets.
Active in attracting pollinators.
Cultivation:
Thrives best in open, sunny locations in well-drained soil. Preferably humus-rich and lightly sandy. Tolerant of most soils. Dislikes shallow and lime-rich soils.
Resistant in coastal climates.
Blooms on bare twigs in late spring - the flowers are then replaced by small olive-green leaves.
Characteristics:
Lifespan: Perennial
Growing position: sun
Height: 2-4 m
Hardiness zone: 1-3
