Re: Query

Another, possibly more common, use for salt cedars is as windbreaks along railroad lines. Salt cedars are commonly found along railroad lines in the Coachella Valley (Palm Springs area) of southern California.

And they are big trees. I'd be curious as to the origin of the 3,000 to 4.000 trees per acre figure. They are big trees at maturity, and an acre is only 4,840 square yards, or about a square yard a tree. That crowded, I woud expect bushes, not trees.

I'm also a little doubtful about them taking over large areas, but I suppose it's possible. I have seen them invade, but not occupy.
