Colorama Scarlet Crape Myrtle
Ordered 3 of these trees. They were package great and in perfect health! Also order 3 rose of Sharon trees in the spring and they arrived perfect and doing well with many beautiful pink blooms. Customer service is amazing as well.
SUPERB! - STUNNING! - SCARLET!
This crape seemed a little pricey, and when I made the purchase, there weren't any size options available. However, crapes grow really well in my area, and I know this touch of scarlet red will be great in my yard. The tree arrived well packaged, bigger than anticipated, and clearly eager to be planted in the ground. The roots in the pot were pretty full and starting to encircle, so I had to do a little teasing of the root ball before planting. The pot was "light" when I got it out of the box and the leaves were kinda droopy. But it had just spent 4 days in a hot, dark box getting to me, so I don't really blame it. The leaves on this crape are "thicker" than some other varieties, feeling slightly more leathery. I suspect that'll mean the fall color will be worth watching for. Once it was watered and in the ground, it perked up nicely! I shaped it up a little by trimming some small broken twigs and nipping off the spent flower buds from the top, and it's looking great! I know it will be beautiful as it fills out (and up). It arrived in its hot box yesterday afternoon (103 degrees). I planted it yesterday evening, giving it some water, attention, and encouraging words. This picture is from today. For reference, the fence behind it is 8 feet tall. FGT is great. Highly recommend them as your source for any plants they stock that are appropriate for your location and growing conditions. I will buy more from them myself!
Myrtle : year 3
Wow. What a stunner! She grows so fast and is beautiful from May-Nov in Ohio. Last winter was pretty harsh so we lost a lot of the top growth but after pruning, she survived and is coming back fuller than before. Gorgeous green foliage with red and orange hues, beautiful red flowers around July, and red foliage in October for Autumn. Love her!
Nice starter
Roots were moist. Packaging was ok as a lot of the dirt fell out from handling. Was a little wilted at first which I assume was from shipping but perked up nicely after a few days in the ground and watering daily.
Great so far
The tree was delivered relatively unscathed. Time will tell, but customer support was awesome and takes it from 4 to 5 star.
