Crape Myrtles - Assorted

The Crape Myrtle tree, also known as Lagerstroemia, is a popular ornamental tree cherished for its vibrant and long-lasting blooms. Native to Asia, this deciduous tree is a staple in many Southern U.S. landscapes due to its heat and drought tolerance.

Crape Myrtles are renowned for their showy summer flowers that come in a variety of colors, including pink, purple, red, and white. The blooms are crinkled, resembling crepe paper, hence the name. These trees can bloom for up to 120 days, providing a splash of color when many other plants are not in season.

Beyond their beautiful flowers, Crape Myrtles have a unique, exfoliating bark that peels away to reveal a smooth and colorful trunk underneath. This feature adds winter interest to the landscape when the tree is leafless.

Crape Myrtles range in size from small shrubs to large trees, reaching heights of up to 30 feet. They are versatile and can be used in various landscape applications, including as specimen trees, in borders, or as privacy screens.

Caring for a Crape Myrtle involves regular watering, especially during dry periods, and pruning in late winter to promote a more abundant bloom in summer. They prefer full sun and well-draining soil.

In summary, the Crape Myrtle is a stunning, low-maintenance tree that offers year-round interest, making it a valuable addition to any garden.

    Plant care

    Caring for a Crape Myrtle tree involves several steps to ensure its health and longevity:

    1. Planting: Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Crape Myrtles thrive in heat and can tolerate drought, but they do best when they get at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.

    2. Watering: Water newly planted Crape Myrtles thoroughly and regularly. Once established, they are quite drought-tolerant, but during dry spells, they will benefit from deep watering.

    3. Fertilizing: In early spring, apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer to promote vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which can lead to lush foliage but fewer flowers.

    4. Pruning: Prune Crape Myrtles in late winter or early spring, while they are still dormant. Remove dead or diseased wood, suckers from the base, and thin out the center to allow sunlight and air circulation. Avoid heavy pruning, often referred to as "Crape Murder," which can lead to fewer blooms and a less attractive tree shape.

    5. Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for common pests like aphids and Crape Myrtle Bark Scale. Treat any infestations promptly. Powdery mildew and sooty mold can also be issues. Planting in full sun, proper spacing, and good air circulation can help prevent these problems.

    6. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to help conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.

    With proper care, a Crape Myrtle can be a beautiful, low-maintenance addition to your landscape.

    Plant spacing

    How far from the house to plant depends on the variety of crape myrtle tree you choose.

    Small ones can go as close as 3 to 4 feet. 

    Larger crape myrtles need to be placed 10 feet or more away.

    If you plant a row of myrtles, place them about 4 to 6 feet or more apart (again, depending on variety).

    These plants are way too big for container growing.

        Not a fan of this one
        Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
        I am not a fan of this product. As many of the reviews noted, the flavor is very strong. I was surprised it wasn't more minty. This is a very herbal concoction. It also tastes of the other very strong herbs, especially the rosemary. According to the instructions, this product should be used once a day for 30 seconds. I prefer a product I can use twice a day for 45 seconds to a minute. My experience is that it takes 30 seconds just to crush it up enough to swish it around and I don't have enough saliva in the morning due to overnight dry mouth. I have to add a little water. The tablets never crush completely and leave a mess in the sink that has to be carefully rinsed away. If I use them more often, my mouth dries out too much and tastes like the tablets all day long. It's not a bad taste but I expect it to go away after a half-hour (or so). They are really chalky. The container isn't bad, but doesn't pour 1 tablet out at a time. Meh. I don't like touching a bunch of them each time. There is a desiccant packet in with the tablets to protect them. I am not sure this would stay closed during travel or be allowed on a plane in carry-on. It should travel ok otherwise because it's not a liquid, but I haven't tried it. I will probably not buy this product again, but in all honesty, I have bought far worse products and been disappointed far more by them.

        Its like they knew what I prayed for🙏🏽
        Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
        Okay, let me start by saying I am a huge skeptic. I need to research things to the nine's and read legit reviews before I buy anything new. I have had cavities from a very young age and receeding gumlines all my life. At age 50, I have gone all natural, got rid of everything toxic, and got really healthy. I have been listening to Dr. HUBERMAN podcast on you tube and found one he did on oral health. He gets very detailed about how to heal your oral health. He spoke specifically about hydroxyapetite and xylitol and their benefits. I then started searching for mouthwashes with these ingredients because i am seriously concerned my teeth are going to fall out from these receeding gums. I have been told all my life there was nothing you can do. I knew in my gut that was a lie. I knew there had to be a way to heal our mouths naturally. Then found BOKA. I got them. I tried them. I lOVE THEM! They are perfect! They are minty fresh, easy to use, makes my mouth feel clean and if they actually do heal my mouth....then awesome sauce! I read all the reviews. I see the after taste. But, i think its a personal choice. I like the after taste. It tastes and feels like a clean mouth. I feel the tinglyness. Yes. But I believe from my health and science background it is the mint, aloe, probiotics and everything else stimulating the skin and blood to start the regeneration of skin and mineral. Im happy to report back again in a month or so with outcome plus before and after photos👍🏽

        A tiny natural loofah that cleans well.
        I am thoroughly impressed. This little pouch is a game-changer for my skincare routine. It's the perfect size for holding my soap bars, and the natural sisal and ramie materials provide excellent exfoliation without being too harsh on my skin. The design is thoughtful and functional. It creates a rich lather, which makes my soap last longer and ensures a thorough cleanse every time. I love that it's eco-friendly and made from natural fibers, which is important to me as I try to reduce my environmental impact.
