Extractions: Washington State Department of Ecology Water Quality Home Technical Information About Tamarix (Salt Cedar) Description and Variation Saltcedar species are spreading shrubs or small trees, 5-20 feet tall, with numerous slender branches and small, alternate, scale-like leaves. The pale pink to white flowers are small, perfect and regular, arranged in spike-like racemes. The distinct petals and sepals occur in fours or fives. The fruit is a capsule (Hitchcock and Cronquist 1961). Tamarix taxonomy is currently in a state of confusion. The number of species in the genus has fluctuated widely because members of the genus have few constant differentiating features, and taxonomists have disagreed over which features are most important. Eight species have been listed as introduced into the U.S. and Canada. These species can be effectively divided into two groups. Tamarix aphylla , an evergreen tree, does not sexually reproduce in this climate, so it is not seriously invasive. Deciduous, shrubby species, including T. pentandra

Extractions: Plant Clinic The First Morrill Act of 1862 granted land for agriculture and mechanical arts to be run by colleges and universities in all of the U.S. states. In 1890, the Second Morrill Act enhanced the first one with a partial endowment. In 1887, the Hatch Act established agriculture experiment stations at each of the land grant colleges and in the Bankhead-Jones Act of 1935, a more complete endowment was provided to the land grant colleges. Cooperative Extension offices have been helping the agricultural community since 1914. That was the year when the United States Congress passed the Smith-Lever Act, an agreement by which U.S. colleges and universities would receive funding and resources in exchange for creating programs for local state residents in horticulture, nutrition and natural and human resource development programs. Everyone has benefited from the cooperative extension service. 59 agricultural research stations across the nation have improved food-crop production and are among the leaders of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) which provides a common-sense approach to healthier crops and environment. In 1972, a busy cooperative extension agent in Washington came up with the idea of training volunteer Master Gardeners to provide expert assistance to home gardeners. Until that time, home gardeners were helped by agents as time permitted in their busy schedule of helping the commercial agricultural community. The idea soon spread nationwide and beyond and now there are about 60,000 Master Gardeners nationwide.
