* Developed to produce the brightest red blooms in existence
* Pest and disease resistant
* Highly drought tolerant

Spectacular blooms last from spring until fall!

One of the hardiest Crape Myrtles available. Resists mildew, disease and insects.

Some of the brightest red blooms of any tree... typically lasting a full 120 days… from spring to fall.

Crape Myrtles are excellent specimen trees, as well as natural privacy barriers. Many customers choose to line their driveways with this stunning tree.

Others use them as attractive focal points at the corners of their foundation plantings. Also an exceptional choice to plant in groupings at the corners of your property.

One of our customer favorites… blooms start light red the first year and then get deeper each year.

For years, Landscape Architects begged for a plant that blooms red in the summer, (in nature, red is a color rarely seen in the heat of summer). The experts agree that nothing compliments the deep summer green of your landscape better than red… and the Dynamite Crape Myrtle is a perfect choice.

It's Easy to Plant your Dynamite Crape Myrtle Tree
Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Dynamite Crape Myrtle Tree. 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 Dynamite Crape Myrtle Tree 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 Dynamite Crape Myrtle Tree 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.

The red crape myrtle that we received really doubled in size this last summer. It was just beautiful with an explosion of blooms that lasted a long, long time. We are so pleased with our purchase! Just gorgeous... Thank you so much.

By: Pete in Harlan, KY

I purchased 5 of these red crepe myrtles to line my driveway. I was skeptical about their performance in my area, not too many people grow Dynamites here. I am overwhelmed by the number of people who ask me about them.... they are gorgeous. They have grown nearly 3 feet this year and are full of beautiful red blooms. I am ready to purchase a few more ,different color maybe, for other areas of my yard. Thanks!

By: Curt in Huntington Beach, CA

Placed these trees in parkway in front of my home. They are beautiful bright and very colorful, even in my salty clay soil. They havent bloomed yet, maybe next year.

By: Mercedes in Lehigh Acres, FL

Wow! What a fast growing tree!! I planted my Dynamite Crepe Myrtle about two months ago and it is already blooming with beautiful red flowers. I cannot believe it! I am so excited about this. This is the first tree Ive planted. I was very surprised to see how greatly packaged it was. It looked fresh and healthy. I was not expecting to see flowers till next year. I plan to buy some more and plant them alongside the driveway. You have a customer for life!

By: Rick in Maryland

I purchased 4 dynamite crape myrtles 2 years ago from your site. All of my neighbors are envious of the beautiful bright red blooms I get. The trees are doing great with no disease or bug damage. I am now coming back for more.

My Dynamite Crepe Myrtle is doing well. The color is certainly true to it its name. It has grown to about 3 1/2 ft in one year. I really enjoy it and cant wait for it to grow bigger to enjoy more blooms this next summer. I am using it to block view form neighbors upstairs window.

By: Barbara in Palmyra, PA

I purchased two Dynamite Crepe Myrtles, one from Fast Growing Trees Nursery, another from a local nursery. It is interesting to note, the one I purchased from you remained disease free, its leaves turned a beautiful red in the Spring and stayed red until they began dropping at end of October in preparation for winter. It bloomed until mid-October. The one I purchased locally, at a very reputable nursery, developed a leaf fungus, and was resistant to treatment. Its leaves turned yellow with brown edges and slowly began dropping midsummer. I am very disappointed with this one. I am very happy with the Dynamite Crepe Myrtle from you and sorry I did not purchase the second one from Fast Growing Trees Nursery. I will be watching for other plants, for sure.

I love it! I wanted a tree for my front landscape that would add color and height, but wouldnt be a problem with my cement driveway. This was the perfect solution. I liked it so well I got another one for the other side of the yard this fall. It is a vibrant red and also has interesting bark and trunk.

By: Scott in Florissant, FL

One of the Dynamites I bought started growing from the moment it was planted and bloomed in beautiful fashion this year. One plant remained almost dormant but late this summer woke up, bloomed and looked quite healthy but is only about 60% of the size of the other. Sometimes patience is a must. Im sure that both trees will wind up as spectacular additions to my landscape.

By: Stan in Overland Park, KS

We got our myrtle a while ago and it has never really grown. Sure, it had red flowers, but it never grew. But this year early spring it has grown about two feet in a month and still a few more inches. Now its blooming like crazy! Its great though. They are beautiful, my favorite trees! So much better than everybody elses.
