Pruning between October and March If you want to give the tamarisk a more.

Tamarix – Pruning, Winter Care and Fertilizing. In general, this plant is used as a “specimen” plant that will need a minimal amount of pruning. Pruning, however, can be very important to the overall look of the plant.

Only prune in early spring before the plant leafs out. Crossing, badly formed or damaged branches should be removed back to a main branch. Pruning in June and July. The best time to prune spring-flowering tamarisk is from June onwards.

If it is pruned earlier in the season, such as in March, this would remove all the newly developing flowers. This type of tamarisk cannot be pruned until after the flowering period. Pruning between October and March.
