Presentation transcript:

Tamarix (Salt Cedar) Salt cedar or tamarisk (Tamarix spp.) was quarantined by the Kansas Department of Agriculture in 2004 and has currently displaced approximately 1.6 million acres of native vegetation in the western United States. Salt cedar is an invasive riparian shrub from Eurasia and was originally sold as an ornamental or planted for steam bank stabilization. It is a plant that is characterized by having a fast seedling growth rate allowing for quick establishment, profuse seed production with mature plants, increased soil salinity contributing to its invasive nature, and elevated water usage as compared to native species.
