Have you ever heard of a tamarisk? It sounds like it could be an exotic herb or rare delicacy but it is neither. The tamarisk is in the evergreen tree family and is also known as the salt cedar. With over 50 different species these plants grow rampantly in salty areas. Many have made their home in the Las Vegas Real Estate area through the waterways. The tamarisk takes root and as the roots lengthen and descend further down into the soil it sucks up the salt from the soil. As times progresses the tree will basically sweat out the salt through its leaves leaving a light covering of salt on the surrounding soil. Over time this salt builds up creating large salt deposits that hinder water passage and growth to surrounding foliage. These deposits can only be washed away by heavy rains and since heavy rains are not that common in Las Vegas it tends to be a problem. Tamarisks rid of most of the plant competition in the area as they take all the salt and any water source below the surface with their incredible extensive root system. Along with robbing the soil in the sweating process any plant that would survive is usually damaged by too much salt atop the surface. The tamarisk quickly takes over acreage along waterways restricting water flow by crowding the area and by killing other plants necessary to keep waterways healthy. Tamarisk removal in Las Vegas can only be successful if it is uprooted. The city of Henderson is currently in the process of eliminating the tamarisk as one of the larger focuses of Project Green. The city believes that tamarisk removal is one of the only ways to restore health and beauty to the surrounding waterways that have been encroached on and maimed by the tamarisk.
