I had no idea this would become such a popular item.
Here's a link to the origin of the stats I quoted earlier. It's a pub in New 
Mexico (No, not THAT kind of pub. An Ag paper.)

I first met tamarisks up close & personal in Arizona in 2001, on a raft trip 
through Grand Canyon. Trees 20 feet and more from the river's usual bank have 
roots that stretch right into the water. I believe they are probably a major 
contributor to the fact that the Colorado doesn't make it all the way to the 
ocean anymore. And yes, at a couple thou per acre, they would be pretty shrubby.
