It's Easy to Plant your Burgundy Cotton Crape
Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Burgundy Cotton Crape. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.

Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Burgundy Cotton Crape gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Burgundy Cotton Crape again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

This is prettier than I expected. It adds a distinct difference to our landscape.

By: joy

We were so happy seeing the Burgundy Crepe that we ordered a second one. Both are beautiful multi-trunk & stand 2+ feet planted. After only two days, both are showing new growth. We look forward to new burgundy leaves against the dark green. We are already enjoying the cotton like blooms that actually remind of snow tufts. Great variety!

By: Linda

The burgundy crape arrived to my Florida home well packaged, looking like twigs....I planted it (in January) and within a week was seeing spectacular burgundy leaves all over. It is planted on the corner of my home and can be seen by anyone passing by. I can not wait for the flowers to bloom
