Where there’s tamarisk (aka salt cedar/saltcedar), there’s usually water (even if it’s mostly underground). Unfortunately, tamarisk is massively invasive and, with its ginormous taproot, sucks up horrible amounts of water. In the West, where we’re always worried about drought and lack of or limited water, tamarisk = bad. (Though I’ve read and heard that some bird species are starting to use tamarisk for nesting, making it … notasbad?)
Buttttttttt … add a pretty mesteño (Aiyanna), and the feathery leaves creates a sort of magical view at her beautiful self.
And yes, there was a lovely longish stretch of water there for the whole band.
