Salt Cedar

  • Extremely high water consumption - mature plants can use 200 gallons of water per day!
  • Tolerates highly saline soil
  • Salt cedar plants cause surrounding soils to become highly saline, which eventually eliminates all native plants
  • Monocultures of salt cedar have a devastating impact to riparian habitats - causing a severe decline in wildlife populations
  • Wildfires are more frequent in salt cedar stands
  • Difficult to control - new plants can be established from seed and live stems
