Andy Rodker club has replied to Annalia S.Will do!
I pass here most days so will keep an eye on it. Lots of rain and cloud at the moment though, so will try and get the timing right!
BUT, anyway you might not have seen my latest upload. Is that what you mean?
Annalia S. has replied to Andy Rodker clubAndy Rodker club has replied to Annalia S.I missed this when you originally posted it! Tamarisk species (a.k.a. salt cedar in this part of the world) are some of the most notorious invader species in the American Southwest, and (as per usual) were imported with The Best of Intentions. Here are a few photos of feral tamarisk:

Hopefully they don’t get away over there ;)
Andy Rodker club has replied to slgwv clubslgwv club has replied to Andy Rodker clubKnowing your interest in language, too: we always called tamarisk “salt cedar” when I was a kid. I didn’t learn “tamarisk” for years! I would guess it’s an Americanism, but the Online Etymology Dictionary is no help. Dictionary.com says the phrase dates to the early 1880s, at any rate. “Cedar” may just have been used for any vaguely exotic sort-of evergreen tree. In another usage from my childhood, we also called the junipers that are abundant at middling elevations in the US west “scrub cedar.”
