Black Diamond crepe myrtle
The shipment arrived in very poor condition. The tops were bent and the whole plants were dry. Since I bought four at one hundred dollars each, it was disappointing. But they have all come around and are looking great!
Great bush/tree
Excellent; Pkg was outstanding. We planted in the heat of summer at 104 degrees and have had days up to 107 here just to the West of Fort Worth, TX but all of our trees have survived with us diligently watering multiple times each day. One tree drooped for a few days, lost it's leaves and we thought it was a gonner but no! Brand new growth all over it a few days later (was just in shock). The color of the leaves on this plant is great to break up the standard green leaves of other trees. Really stands out next to some Witchita Blue Junipers!
Black Diamond
It was almost dead when it arrived but we love, water & nurturing it has come around beautifully.
Red Crape Myrtle
Plant arrived health and it seems to be flourishing. Beautiful color both leaves and flower.
Brilliant blooms
In Houston we have had temps from 17° to 108° this year. This beauty loved them all. I water after sundown every 3 or 4 days.
