I remember reading that Tamarix is very polymorphic. When you look at the specimen on Athens sea-side (T. aphylla I reckon), they have individuality so to speak.
But I never expected to see this near my home!... the one in the photo looks like a Juniperus or something. Very dark and dense foliage and no flowers from what I observed (see its twin trunc for the typical version).
One cutting is growing in my balcony (second photo).
If you think it's a rare phenomenon, pls let me know and then I should grow more of these cuttings! Thx
