Re: Tamarix
Wait Lillian! Don't plant that beast -- at least not until you've
done a really thorough research on whether it becomes a problem in
your area. I've just returned from a weekend in the mountains of
Southern California and to get to the mountains, we have to cross the
desert. In both mountain and desert areas, Tamarisk is a terrible,
terrible pest! It colonizes anywhere and becomes dominant
particularly in dry areas where it sucks up all the water,
outcompeting native plants. Big Big problems!
