Tamarix ramosissima (flowering)[1]

Salcedar provides nesting for birds, and is an important pollen source for honeybees. It is also used by blacktailed jackrabbits as a major food source. It is relatively unpalatable to most classes of livestock and wildlife. Medicinally, saltcedar species have been used to treat stomach troubles, diarrhea, rheumatism, rickets, and as an astringent and antiseptic.[2]

Endangered Species Habitat

Special Considerations

Saltcedar potentially serves as nesting habitat for the endangered southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) which is protected under the Endangered

Species Act of 1973.[3]
