Sorting out the various species (T. gallica, ramosissima, etc.) really
requires looking at the flowers under a microscope. That said, they
all misbehave pretty much the same way in the SW U.S.

It is, looks like pretty much all of the Tamarisk that grow all over too much
of Santa Fe and the waterways of New Mexico. It is probably T. pentandra. If
you are still in S.F. you can get more information about them at Plants of the
Southwest, or Agua Fria Nursery, they are both on Agua Fria Rd. Probably the
best way to get rid of them is to napalm the whole county.

I had a nice tamarisk once (T. chinensis) that I was growing as a bonsai, but
it was too much work. The genus is usually not considered hardy in Zone 5, but
there is one in Syracuse.
