I planted mine last fall and expected blooms this summer, but no blooms the first season. However, the tree is very healthy and has grown signficantly this year. I had a good experience with Fast Growing Trees Nursery and have since ordered something else that also came in excellent condition.

Was very impressed by how well this tree was packaged when I received it but am even more impressed by how amazing it is doing. Was only about 3 1/2 ft tall when I planted it last May and its already grown about 10 ft, and is starting to flower. Extremely satisfied with this tree and am definitely going to order at least one more for my back yard. I made the mistake of buying another tree from a local greenhouse for my backyard and planted at the same time and it died. Definitely recommend your trees, very high quality. Thank you!

We received our crape myrtle about a month ago (June). The packaging was great. My plant has grown quite a lot since I planted it and already has numerous blooms on it.

I purchased my arapaho red crape myrtle last fall and it seems to be doing well.

Reviewed by Ted:

Our crape myrtles are doing extremely well, one has doubled in height and tripled in spread.

The other suffered great abuse (unintentional) at our hands, as a result of our adding a new barn adjacent to it...in spite of that, the second one is still growing significantly - 1.5 X in height, 2X in spread.

I love my Crape Myrtle I received last year. I first saw one while visiting family in Georgia and thought it was one of the most beautiful trees I ever seen. I live in MI and I was hesitate about ordering one since I couldn't find one sold in the state. It looks beautiful and several people have commented on its beauty. It is healthy and is growing!!

The tree was barely 3 feet tall when I received it and planted it in July of last summer. Just over a year later it is over 6 feet tall. It had full beautiful red blooms that lasted through October. I live in a very dry area, but the tree flourished anyway. I have been extremely satisfied with my Arapaho Red Crape Myrtle.

I ordered a red Crape Myrtle. I didn't think it was going to make it but after researching them I found that they get new growth well into the summer. So if yours isn't doing so hot, give it a chance...it will suprise you come mid-summer.

I planted my red arapaho in my front yard. I almost thought that it wasn't going to come out of it this year as we had a very bad snow storm last year that did a lot of damage. It did not grow from the old shoots it had last year instead it sprouted all new ones that grew rather quickly. It has very beautiful red flowers when it blooms and they last almost until winter starts.

My crape myrtle had a rough start, but still looks great! The tree was planted according to the directions, but there were two nights of below freezing temperatures the following weekend. I thought that the tree did not survive, but the next spring it flowered and today it looks great.

Takes a lickin'..keeps on growin'

We live in northeast Mississippi and I planted three Arapaho Crepe Myrtles in the Spring of '08. I had to transplant one because of unexpected yard work; then my dear mother, 92 years old, mistook them as "weeds" and broke two off at the ground! I was sick.

About a month later, here they came again, stronger than ever. I don't suggest doing this to ANY plant; but so thankful mine survived. There were blooms on all three this first year, and they are about 4 feet tall. Hopefully, we won't have more trauma to them in 2009 and they can have a normal growing season. The blooms were RED; just what I wanted; not fuchsia or "orangey." I am so excited to have them.

I was very impressed with the size a health of my new Arapaho Crape Myrtle! It was quite big (almost 4 feet tall) and full to boot. It bloomed quite readily, and was pleased with the length of bloom time; not to mention the extreme beauty of the blooms. It was as described and then some!! Thank you fast growing trees!

Absolutely Beautfiul! I consider myself an average gardener....gaining experience each year; however, I have to say the red crape myrtles that I purchased from you were absolutely beautiful this summer. This was my frst season with the 6ft Arapaho Crape Myrtles but I've had the Dynamite Crape Myrtles as well. I can't wait to see the growth on them for the second season. I just hope they survive the New England winters that we have. I do plan to order two more next spring. Thank You!

The Arapaho Crape Myrtles I purchased from Fast growing trees are doing great. They are a very Deep Red color and the flowers seem to last a very long time. I am very pleased with these trees.

Reviewed by Steve in Columbus, OH:

The verdict is still out. The Arapaho Crape I purchased a year ago had trouble surviving last Winter. As matter of fact I thought it was dead and ordered a replacement last May. By the time my replacement had arrived I recognized a small shoot coming out of the ground so I dug it up and replanted in my back yard. The Crape has now grown almost as high as my replacement. So I'm curious to see how they will do this Winter. The replacement bloomed nicely late this Summer so I was happy with that. I actually have 3 Crapes now as I ordered an additional one with my replacement. I will be crossing my fingers that all of their current growth survives. Thanks!

I purchased the Arapaho Crape Myrtles after seeing the color of the flowers on the website. It has been over a year now and they are doing very well. The flower colors are still a beautiful red, the leaves are healthy and it is maintainance free. I just wish I had some of that 'comcast high speed internet liquid' so the myrtles can get bigger faster : )

Reviewed by John in New Hope, PA:

My red arapaho crape myrtle is a striking red color for most of the summer. It has doubled in size in one season from 3ft to 6ft. I couldn't be more pleased and many comment on the striking red color they have yet to see on a crape. Nice product!

Awesome!

We wanted something that would only grow to about 30 feet to cover the view of the neighbor's rooftop, but not the view of the hillside facing us. We wanted a flowering tree, but not fruit-bearing and I found it at Fast Growing Trees. I ordered 3 crape myrtles which arrived looking like bare sticks but I planted them as instructed. They "leafed up" great so we decided to order 3 more to fully line the west side of our property.

The next 3 arrived with some leaves on them already (because of the time of year we ordered them) and by the end of summer, you couldn't tell they were planted at different times. They all grew about 2 feet and had lots of foliage and flowers. We've only had a little trouble with deer gnawing on two of the trees but we believe that was an isolated incident. The crape myrtles look gorgeous and we can't wait until next year when they are a little taller and thicker with even more flowers.

Reviewed by Jeff in Carrollton, TX:

I planted my Arapaho Crape in an existing flower bed that gets Sun about half of the day. I broke it getting it out of the shipping box so it is not as tall as it would be otherwise. It grows well here and is drought resistant but I would have liked it more if it had grown more than it has but perhaps my expectations are too high. I would recommend this for anyone who does not have a green thumb since it is very hardy.
