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

Ricardo in Bristol, CT on 8/6/2009

Love it! Since it arrived in April, it has already tripled in size and its already blooming...I cant be any happier...looking forward to ordering two more.

Robin in York, PA on 8/19/2009

The purple crape myrtle came packaged so good to our house. We were a little worried about how it would arrive, but you put our fears to rest and we will be ordering more trees from you in the near future. Our crape myrtle is blooming so much already and weve only had it a few months. Its such a beautiful tree! Thank you so much for providing them to the public.

Bob in the CT Shoreline on 11/13/2008

Keeps on Giving! My Muskogee arrived as a few stalks, and one year later we have had 3 feet of vigorous growth, beautiful long lasting purple blossoms the first year, and now ,11/08, multi-color fall foliage with every hue in the forest. An amazing year-round pleasure!

John in Cape Coral, FL on 6/9/2009

I ordered the muskogee crape myrtle tree and it shipped within 5 days and arrived in two days after shipping. The tree is gorgeous and am following the directions for planting. Thank you so much for a great tree.

Dot in Dover, NC on 11/9/2008

The muskogee crape myrtles arrived in great condition and survived drought conditions and sandy soil here in eastern North Carolina. There were even a few blooms the first year. I would buy more if I had another spot to put them.

CF in Richmond, VA on 11/13/2008

As advertised - fast growing - very nice. All are still alive and growing well. Thanks!

Dene on 11/13/2008

After visiting NC and seeing all the crepe myrtles, I fell in love with them. I now have 4 of them and cant wait to see them bloom next year.

Sal in Atlanta, GA on 7/23/2009

Exactly what I wanted! I purchased several of these 2 years ago and they are quite tall now. My husband scoffed when they arrived, but they grew tall and full considerably fast. Several times a day I look at them. Theyve added a lot of color and interest to the backyard.

Sam in Long Beach, CA on 11/9/2008

This purple crape myrtle has been a fantastic addition to our backyard garden in Southern California. Trees are very hardy and bloom magnificently throughout the spring/summer.

Avarismimi in Houston, TX on 7/15/2009

Great tree! Planted the Muskogee crape myrtle & love it so much. I live in an apartment & they allowed me to plant the tree. I needed shade very quickly & people couldnt believe it but in 2 months it has grown 18 inches so far. Wow! What a lovely tree and a fast grower, & the light purple blooms are extraordinary! I have nothing to complain about. Thanks for a great tree. I would recommend this tree for anyone who wants a fast growing no hassle tree.

Tom in Muskogee, OK on 11/20/2008

Great tree! Planted the muskogee crape myrtle as was instructed when received. The tree has tripled in size and actually bloomed late in the season which we thought was amazing. Really happy with what we got. Will purchase another next spring for the other side of the yard. Thanks for such a great crape myrtle.

Patricia on 9/9/2008

Thank you for replying and for holding your company to such a high standards. I cant wait until Spring. I fell for the light-lilac bloom and the height.

Lawrence Dorries

I ordered two of these. But was expecting very small trees. It said 3-4 feet tall including root ball. I was shocked when I got home and saw a 7 foot tall box with the trees in them. Can't wait to get them planted today ! Easily would of cost hundreds of dollars at our local garden store !
