Description

When it comes to flowering trees, there’s simply no others more showy than Crape Myrtles. They bloom for up to 100 days during summer, when there are few other trees and shrubs providing that service in the landscape. Colorful fall foliage and attractive exfoliating bark in winter enhance their overall appeal. It’s no wonder they are so wildly popular among designers and gardeners!

This is the single trunk form of the Muskogee Crape Myrtle tree, a year round color factory producing large clusters of light lavender flowers for up to 120 days during summer that are up to 16 inches long! The dark green glossy leaves provide a nice backdrop for the flowers and turn to colorful shades of red, orange, and yellow during the fall. Exfoliating bark adds even more interest. Totally mildew resistant Fauriei hybrid.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 15-30 feet tall, depending on pruning, and 15-20 feet or so wide, the Muskogee Crape Myrtle Topiary Tree is an ideal selection for a focal point specimen. Because it has only one trunk it’ll fit in tighter spaces where multi-trunk specimens won’t. Whether planted as a single specimen or in groupings, this is one plant that is sure to stand out in the landscape! A fine addition to purple them gardens.

Spacing: 25′ for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Muskogee Crape Myrtle is very easy to grow. It is not picky about soil type provided the soil is well-drained. A moist but well-drained soil of average fertility is preferred. Full sun is preferred and results in heavier flower production. Light shade is tolerated but flowering will be diminished in more shade. Has shown excellent resistance to powdery mildew and is quite drought tolerant when established.

Tree came packaged well. Freight services could use a little lesson in package care. Tree is starting to leaf out and I am very pleased with my purchase from Wilson Bros. I was kinda hesitant ordering a 3 gal tree through the mail, but now I am confident I can order with Wilson Bros.
