Most of the rural portions of the Isles of Scilly are owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, although most properties in Hugh Town, the largest settlement in the islands, were sold to residents by King George VI in 1949, and the island of Tresco has been leased to the Dorrien Smith family since 1834.
Tamarisks are deciduous flowering shrubs which grow in thickets. They thrive in England in sheltered locations with maritime breezes, so they flourish in the Isles of Scilly.
