I agree Bonkers, this shrub is a good idea as motorways can be pretty boring. We sometimes have colourful oleanders brightening up the middle of our autostrade.

Yes they look wonderful in their pink feathery blossom. They do well here too, and are often used as a hedge in the middle of motorways etc.

yes mine is an early one too, i think mine was spring time if i remeber rightly, did'nt realise there was a later one, this is lovely spritz, only hope mine looks like this in a few years time. mine is only 2 years old but already well over 7ft tall, once it gets better established i am going to remove the lower growth so that it takes a tree shape - i have seen one in a garden down the road from me that has been trained in this way and it is stunning!

There's one in a nearby village that flowers months earlier! I expect it's the one you have, Chris.

This flowers a lot later than the variety I have which is T Tetranda I think.

to be honest Spritz don't know the variety, i bought in Woolworths year before last, so proberly one of the most common ones, it was only a tiny sprig, i grew it on in a pot for a year and planted it out last spring and it now stands about 5ft high, this is the first year it has flowered and it has only flowered on a side shoot, nothing on the main stem at all, do you know why this might be? and also how and when is best to prune them?

I know it's a Tamarisk, but it's so different from the variety that I've got, which flowers in the summer. How old is it?

Yes Greenthumb this is the Spring flowers, and then the leaves will come which are equally feathery looking.

Is this the tamarisk spring bloom? I'm very fascinated, an exciting display.

These trees are very common here Lori. They are often used along the side of motorways etc. I will put up another pic soon when it is much fluffier. I've got Cotinus too in my garden, their fluffy flower heads look more like smoke, a bit different to the Tamarisk.

This is a unique plant...have you googled it recently? interesting reading.
I do love the frothy blossom, it's frothy florescence is very like cotinus coggyria (sp) isn't it?
the older I get the worse my spelling becomes!
