A nursery near me here in Kansas City Missouri has some. Let me check on
the size and price and I will get back with you. Bill Crx3628@sbcglobal.

Hi Bill,
I am excited and can't wait to hear the result of your search. Whatever the
outcome will be, but your intention is deeply appreciated. Respectfully

Where do you have a proper citation for this name? How did you
come to start looking for it? How does it differ from any of the
more common Tamarix species, which are quite similar one to the
other?
Hi Jim,
I found that particular name from many sources ! to name some as following:
Bonsai Today #72 (front cover)
The Complete book of Bonsai by Harry Tomlinson (page 160).

Couple years ago, when I first created miniature mountains landscape. Upon
the completion ! There was the image of those miniature mountainous appeared on
the surface of the water inside the tray that hold the mountains...I like it
but something is missing ! A tree that have characteristics of toughness to
show the survival level in the surrounding condition and have to have some kind
of feminine to calm down the hardness of those rocks to make the image a
little peaceful. I was searching for a balance of Ying/Yang in "Taichi".
I hope that i make sense to you! but I thought the trunk of Tamarisk has
rough bark (strength) and foliage is feathery (something feminine). I am creating
something to satisfy the inner part of me- an image in my head. I am just an
amateur who see a lot of things in my head. Sometimes those images are very
freaky (LOL).
What do you think ? It is going to be the focal point in my front yard.
