Tamarix parviflora Tamarisk Deciduous shrub (1 Page of 5) The Tamarix parviflora plant species is found in E. Europe - Balkans, Aegean. It is a member of the Tamaricaceae family. Common gardeners may know the plant as Tamarisk. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Tamarix parviflora Common Name: Tamarisk Family: Tamaricaceae Author: DC. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 4.5 Mature Width: Habitat: Hedges and river banks[50]. Not found on saline soils.
Cultivation Notes: An easily grown plant, succeeding in most soils and tolerant of saline conditions[11]. This species is not found in saline soils in the wild and so might not be tolerant of them in cultivation[K]. 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].
Plants flower mainly on wood produced in the previous summer[227]. Growth can be restricted by cutting back the plants after they have flowered in the spring, hedges are also best trimmed at this time[188].
Closely related to T. tetrandra.
Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
