It’s absolutely healthy and beautiful!
Excellent
Leaves are turning brown
I planted this tree the day I got it. So far, the leaves aren’t looking too healthy - browning and with some small holes in them. I called the support line and was asked to use fertilome root stimulator (arrives today), ensure that it’s getting adequate water (it is), and to figure out a way to keep it shaded in the hottest part of the day (the weather in MD has been scorching hot). I may have what the person called ‘sun scorch’. I’ll keep an eye on it.
Beautiful tree , it grows so fast it will be blooming soon
Came in not damaged, planted the same day and it’s growing fast
So far, so good.
I just recently received my Crape Myrtle. It was packed well and only slightly wilted. She is now standing tall in the yard and trying hard to make this home. The only wish I have is that it would have been helpful to have a stick to stake it with as everything that was available here is a bit short. Never fear, we have worked around it! Otherwise, things seem to be going well and I look forward to seeing the first flowers!
