This crape myrtle arrived in
This crape myrtle arrived in very healthy condition and is doing well and blooming
Wow
The tree arrived super healthy!!!!! It is already thriving after 2 weeks in the ground.
Beautiful tree but not hardy enough for winter (zone 7)
I bought two of these crape myrtles last year and planted them in October. The foliage was beautiful, but the tree lost its leaves and fell into dormancy within a week with the transplant stress and wind. The stems and branches seemed healthy until January when a cold snap (-1 F) hit (zone 7). I believe that killed most of the above ground growth at that point but waited all the way through June to see if anything would come back from the roots since they usually do, but there were no signs of life. I’m sure these trees do much better if planted in spring or even summer so that they have time to harden off before winter in colder climates. Regardless, from talking with others I think you need to expect some die back in winter if you are planting in zones 6 or 7. FastGrowingTrees provided excellent customer service for the dead trees though and provided a credit for replacements. I’m replacing them with pink velour variety with more time to establish during the season before cold weather hits. Pink velour is definitely more tried and proven in colder climates than this variety, but I really liked thunderstruck’s dark foliage and was sad to see them not make it. I may have given them a 2nd try but they were out of stock.
So Far So Good!
I have had my Coral Boom Crape Myrtle for 6 months now. Planted it last fall, and am eager to see the blooms come summer. It's doing great, and my overall experience with FGT has been very good. I called in a few times the first weeks after putting my crape myrtle in the ground, and the staff on the phone were super helpful.
Coral Boom tree
The plant arrived in good condition well packed and looking healthy. I planted the day after, still good but most of the leaves are gone hope next year will see some buds.
