Tamarix hispida Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: An easily grown plant, succeeding in most soils and tolerant of saline conditions[11]. Grows well in heavy clay soils as well as in sands and even shingle[182]. Usually found near the coast, it succeeds inland if given a fairly good deep loam and a sunny position[11, 200]. Tolerant of maritime winds and dry soils when grown near the coast[11], plants require a moister soil and shelter from cold drying winds when they are grown inland in non-saline soils because they use the soil salts that are found in saline soils to help them reduce transpiration[200]. Not often seen in British gardens, probably because it needs more sun than it can get here. It is best tried on a sunnny wall[11, 182]. Plants are not long-lived at Kew Gardens[11]. This species flowers on the current year's growth[227]. Any pruning is best carried out in spring, hedges are also best trimmed at this time[188]. Plants are tolerant of severe pruning, sprouting freely from old wood[K]. The flowers are produced on the current season's growth[200]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. For further Tamarix hispida gardening information |
