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!

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! It's great though. They are beautiful, my favorite trees! So much better than everybody else's.

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 I've 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!

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.

We decided to plant a Dynamite Crape Myrtle Tree after seeing how beautiful they look on the South Carolina highways. I was a little hesitant to buy a tree at all, but after searching the web and finding your web site, I decided to purchase a Dynamite Crape Myrtle tree. So far it is really doing well. It is growing fast and I am very excited. Thanks for sending such a healthy tree. We are very happy with our purchase and will definitely buy from your nursery again.

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 can't wait for it to grow bigger to enjoy more blooms this next summer. I am using it to block view form neighbors upstairs window.

The tree was shipped to my Nephew as a sympathy on the death of his Father. The tree bloomed beautiful this year & has caught up to the other ones in size.

My Crape Myrtle is doing very well. I was skeptical that it would survive here in Las Vegas. However, it bloomed and grew some 10 inches this year. I expect it will do better next growing season after it has passed the transplant shock. Thank you for your service. Mac in Las Vegas.

This was my first purchase, I was so pleased to see how well the plant was packaged. I could not find this color anywhere, so I took a chance and bought on line. It has grown in to a beautiful specimen plant. Thanks, look forward to purchasing from you again.

We got the dynamite crape myrtles and planted them right away. I also pruned them to the shape I wanted. They sprouted leaves almost immediately and I got flowers the following year. They smell wonderful and are the easiest trees to take care of. When I'm ready to purchase more trees, I will buy from Fast Growing Trees Nursery again in a heart beat.

The Crape Myrtle trees are perfect for any weather, and they don't require any maintenance. They are very tolerant of drought, and needless to say, they are absolutely gorgeous in the blooming season. I have several kinds, and I love them all.

As a neophyte gardner (I'm working to overcome the "black thumb" label), these crepe myrtles were remarkably easy to plant and have easy great to care for.

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, it's 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. It's 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 wouldn't 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.

Reviewed by Carolyn in Fort Worth, TX:

I was a beginning gardner, and frightened the tree wouldn't endure Texas climate. We had a rough start because it get's really hot here and needs a constant water. I centered the tree in my backyard. To my surprise, the tree is small, yet it is hardy and colorful. I am anticipating the full grown tree. I'm anxious to see my blooming Texas trees.

I am more than satisfied. My dynamite crape myrtle trees are growing and bloomed this past summer. I am getting ready to cut them back even though they are 5 ft tall, at least. I am using them near my property line for a bit of color; the red is a rich, happy color. I hope to purchase 6 more in the spring!

Placed these trees in parkway in front of my home. They are beautiful bright and very colorful, even in my salty clay soil. They haven't bloomed yet, maybe next year.

Reviewed 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. I'm sure that both trees will wind up as spectacular additions to my landscape.

I purchased my dynamite crape myrtles in November and had to keep them in the garage over the winter. I was afraid they would not bloom once spring came but they did great. They took a little longer than expected but when they began to bloom, they never stopped. I would recommend them to anyone.

I purchased and planted 6 dynamite crape myrtle earlier this year. I selected the crape myrtles due to their excellent color and their ability to thrive in the hot Oklahoma summers. I placed them on either side of the driveway, two at beginning, two at the end and two in the middle. They look great from the road and improve the curb appeal of my home.

We were extremely pleased at the performance of our crape myrtles.  We purchased the 6ft ones and they were beautiful this summer.  This is the first year we had the 6ft ones so we're hoping they will grow stronger and endure the winters we have here in New England.
