  • TAMARISK:

• Name: Tamarisk, saltceder/salt cedar, athel tree.

• From: Endemic to arid and semi-desert regions of Eurasia and Africa.

• Spread: Established in much of Europe and the continental U.S. One tamarisk can produce 250 million seeds per year that are spread easily by the wind.

• Problem: A mature tamarisk can transpire 200-300 gallons of water per day, and dense stands crowd out native vegetation.
