Tamarisk tetrandra

Tamarisk tetrandra (Tamarisk tetrandra)

This year the Tamarisk is having a quiet time, not heavily laden with flowers as other summers. A sun lover, it's missing the warmth and light we usually have in June. I've a feeling that the strongest branches are hanging into next doors which faces south....:o((

OH has just taken our stick out and put it in a pot, this is supposed to be a coastal plant, your always looks wonderful, our neighbour gets the best of our plants also!! so I know how you feel!!

Its still pretty, i have one which is not much more than a twig despite being a few years old. Moved it last year out of desperation and it is showing some signs of life but nothing like this...it is still not much more than a twig!

If it makes it through the summer , I might give it a good cut back to spur some new growth.

Yes I shall give this one a good haircut too girls, when its finished, especially those heavy branches next door...they'll not mind, they don't like gardening too much.
I wonder why yours aren't growing too well, we have quite a few in the village here all flowering away like mad, maybe its this east side they like???

Thanks Sheila!

On my list of ''MUST buy'' we are quite near the coast so should do ok. Is it a tree or a shrub ?

A bit late but I've just found it - beautiful! I have one of these, but at the moment it's still very small in a 3 litre pot.
