tamarisk

Tamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima) requires regular watering, at least once a week. However, it thrives best with 2 to 3 waterings per week. It should be watered deeply, allowing the water to run down to the roots, and the soil should be kept lightly moist. During the hot summer months, it may need more frequent watering, such as up to twice per day. When temperatures become cooler in autumn, it should have less frequent waterings, such as once every 10-14 days. If the soil is still wet, it may not need to be watered as often. Tamarisk enjoys drier soil in the winter and should not be overwatered.

Tamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima) will benefit from plenty of sunlight. This plant species prefers 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. During the spring and summer, it will be better adapted to longer and hotter days, while shorter and cooler days suit the plant better during the autumn and winter months. In areas with extreme temperatures, it is important to choose a location where the tamarisk can get some dappled shade during the hottest parts of the day.

Tamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima) should be pruned in the late winter or early spring. The amount of pruning depends on the desired shape and size of the plant. Heavy pruning may be necessary to rejuvenate the plant or to reduce its size. To maintain a particular size and shape, light pruning is recommended. For plants used as a hedge or screen, pruning should be done to keep the tips narrow and the base wider. When pruning, cut shoots back to their point of origin or to previous buds.
