This is a great time to propagate the tamarisk (May)<br />I will try and photograph the steps required to take cuttings, for you Anne.<br /><br />Seb the small tree I have was a rooted cutting at the time of posting and today is only 12" high but looking well. Idid not improve the soil prior to planting having seen them thriving in quite poor marginal land around the coast. Though today I have transplanted the young to a better situation.<br /><br />Cuttings are fairly easy to root, and once established and should reach 1 meter in two years, though a slender looking specimen.<br /><br />As a hedge or windbreak up to 3 metres high the plants seem quite effective.Colin and Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231691434304136346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21205945.post-68319675736143691822010-05-30T14:42:42.076+02:002010-05-30T14:42:42.076+02:00Hi, my name is Anne,

I live near you. when would be best time to take the cuttings - May? How easy are they to root and how long do you think they would take to reach about 1m in height?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your thoughts<br /><br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
