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!
