Figure 4. Indian Hawthorn
(Rhaphiolepis indica) is tolerant
to salt spray and soil salinity.
This species does not require
extra management input when
irrigated with recycled water.
Even after several years in a
landscape sprinkler-irrigated
with recycled water containing
200 mg L-1 sodium and 300 mg
L-1 chloride, Indian Hawthorn
plants show no signs of salt
stress (upper left). If the salt
concentration in the irrigation
water increases to 600 mg L-1
sodium and 900 mg L-1 chloride
Indian Hawthorn leaves can
show scorch-like symptoms at
the tips of the leaves (below
left).
