The Four-Stamen Tamarisk (Tamarix tetrandra) is a deciduous shrub or small tree with a special - "winged" appearance - foliage. It has scaly green leaves and pink flowers, which are carried on a botryoid inflorescence. Flowering occurs from mid to late spring. The fruits are capsules that contain plenty of seeds. The Four-Stamen Tamarisks are very easy to grow plants, which grow in any soil that drains well, while they can be planted even "on the sea" - on the beaches. They want sunny places, but they can also withstand light shades. Tamarix tetrandra is used in both gardening and landscape architecture, as an individual plant, in group plantings, as well as for the creation of tree lines.
► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the tree, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large trees are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
