Pruning a Tamarisk tetrandra

Tamarisk tetrandra benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This helps to remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and prevent potential damage. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can also promote new blooms. Use clean, sharp tools like secateurs or pruning shears to ensure precise cuts and reduce the risk of disease. Regular maintenance keeps the plant looking tidy and supports its robust nature.

Watering is most effective in the early morning or late afternoon to minimise evaporation. Rainwater can be used to hydrate the plant, and it's important to check the soil moisture before watering. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot. Drip irrigation systems are beneficial once the plant is established, but initial watering should be done manually.

The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size. After application, water the garden if there is no rain, as nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water.
