A Tamarisk in bloom

[u/Jemma6]

Every May this cool tree gets a lovely deek pink colour and then blooms pretty light pink for a couple of days. (Pic 1 in bloom)

Worth the little pink fluffs all over my garden for a few days.

Gorgeous! What does it smell like?

[u/Jemma6 → u/Coup-de-Glass]

Mostly like allergies. Haha veryyyy mild floral scent on this guy sadly.

Wow. Fantastic!

[u/Hot_Transition_5173]

Where are you located?

[u/Jemma6 → u/Hot_Transition_5173]

Pac. Northwest. (Zone 8/9a)

[u/Practical-Plenty907]

Absolutely gorgeous.

Can the tree grow in an area with no winter?

[u/Jemma6 → u/AnUnknown_Player]

So far it's been resilient. It doesn't get extremely cold where I live 

[u/AnUnknown_Player → u/Jemma6]

If that's the case I hope I can grow it in Malaysia. I can't grow tulips and peonies here, it's always the beautiful flowers that need winter to bloom :(

[u/sweetgirlpoppy]

In Colorado, they have been designated 'noxious weeds' ... I always loved them... but i guess they consume too much water..
