My beautiful crêpe myrtle
I love crêpe myrtle tree it’s beautiful ♥️
Crape Myrtle in TN
So far so good, it came quickly and healthy. I left it out a few days to let it settle, once I planted it it perked up. So far, no leaf loss- it seems happy. Fingers crossed it establishes
Colorama Scarlet Crape Myrtle
The trees arrived just fine. I’ve had them in the ground for about two weeks now and the leaves are still a nice shade of mottled reds and greens. I water every other day and they seem to be holding up.
Thriving
Bought in May 2026 and it is thriving for sure. So excited for blooms.
Scarlet Crepe Myrtle
To be honest, I was very concerned when my tree arrived looking puny. I immediately contacted Fast Growing Trees and spoke to Ralph. He was very helpful and said to go ahead and plant it and watch it for a couple weeks because it looked viable. Well, a couple weeks later Ralph was right! My tree is beautiful! Great service, great trees!!
