Tamarix tetrandra
Four Stamen Tamarisk is a small deciduous shrub or tree, usually up to about 3 m, grown for its feathery scale-like foliage and pale pink spring flower sprays. It is best in a sunny, sheltered spot, especially in coastal gardens, and tolerates salt wind and poor soil well.
Tamarix tetrandra is a species of flowering plant in the family Tamaricaceae, native to south eastern Europe, Turkey, Bulgaria and Crimea. Growing to 3 m (10 ft) tall and broad, it is a small deciduous tree with almost black arching branches, and tiny scale-like leaves arranged along the branches. Racemes of pale pink flowers are produced in late spring.
The binomial Tamarix tetrandra means "four-stamen tamarisk".
