“Tamarix pentandra” Pierre Ducassek sartu zuen Donostian 1885ean, egokia baitzen Kontzako badian izaten diren itsasoko haizeel aurre egiteko. Tamariz multzoak edertasun handiko lorategi historiko eta berezia osatzen du, eta, hori dela eta, hiriaren ikur bilakatu da. Donostiako Hiri Antolamenduku Plan Orokorrak babestu egiten ditu arbola hauek, eta horrek trataera berezia eskaintzen die.

Erne ibili behar da arbola aparta hauen berezitasunekin, adar baxuak dituzte eta.
