The University of Arizona: Battling the Invader – Understanding Saltcedar, Tamarix spp

Short Takes are 15-30 minute classes that focus on a single idea with straightforward, common-sense information that will help you increase your gardening success.

Join us for an informative talk from cooperative extension invasive species specialist, Ben Tully, on Saltcedar, Tamarix spp, one of the most aggressive invasive plants in the Southwest. Learn how this non-native shrub disrupts native ecosystems, depletes water resources, and alters soil chemistry—and what efforts are being made to control its spread. Discover how gardeners and land stewards can help protect native habitats from this persistent invader.
