The Tamarisk is so evocative of old fashioned Mediterranean fishing villages.

Introduced way back in 1821 this won the Award of Garden Merit in 2002.

Although primarily thought of as a coastal plant it can make a fine garden tree inland so long as it is not planted on shallow chalk.

We offer this as a small standard tree with a rounded crown.

Its light pink flowers are freely produced in May / June. A tough subject which does well in light sandy soils.

Is very good for coastal locations and is also tolerant of exposed windy sites.

Mature height: 3-7m

Mature spread: 4-6m
