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!

So far tree is looking healthy and putting out new foliage. We’re looking forward to the scarlet blooms next year or so.

The trees were received in a rather dry state, but with a little watering, ok, a lot, they are healthy and their buds are blooming! Very happy with the trees. . . however, receiving them was frustratingly slow due to a stocking problem. However, FastGrowingTrees more than satisfied this issue. Thank you!
So far so good. Already
So far so good. Already have a few blooms a week later
