Amur tamarisk - good choice planting close to road

Tamarisk is an interesting shrub that can grow up to 9 feet and is very salt tolerant, so it would make a good choice for planting close to a road, even growing best in poor soils. This shrub would suit a new subdivision property. The finely divided leaves have an almost fern-like appearance and feathery pink flowers open in July (in mid zones) for several weeks, at a time when few shrubs are in flower.
