9 years ago

Help me please! I can't figure out what this bush/tree is. Not even my local garden centers know what it is but I pass by 2 of them in town. Its over 6ft tall and looks fluffy all the time. Leaves are green with pink ends.
I have more picks close up I can email.
Thank you so much!!

Could be tamarisk or mimosa - what are the leaves like? May want Google photos of the leaves to compare.
(It looks like tamarisk from the photo, but not sure about your description of leaves).

KILL IT!!!!

It's "Salt Cedar" and it's an invasive monster.

Salt Cedar is tamarisk...right?
Pretty, but..
It is on Nature Conservancy's Dirty Dozen most invasive ornamental plants

You can get smoke tree (Cotynus coggyria) to get somhow similar look.
