United StatesHoping it Recovers
My crape Myrtle arrived with curled leaves and dried out. I placed it in a big pot and watered immediately. After 2 weeks it is still fighting to recoup from what must have been a hot shipping experience. I just hope it survives.

The trees arrived in perfect condition. I believe I will love these new crepe myrtles. So far they are doing well. I lost 4 crepe myrtles from hurricane Ida and these will replace them. I believe these will be more beautiful. Thank you for the healthy trees you’re growing.
