Will benefit from the addition of a slow-release fertilizer at the top of the root ball once a year. This will help with continuous flowering. The Black Diamond series is pest, disease, and deer resistant, as well as drought-tolerant and mildew resistant.
These deciduous trees are perfect for lining a driveway or fence. Grow across the United States in USDA growing zones 6-9.

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.

United StatesTry avoiding orders during summer
Plants came in really quickly, gave 4 stars because the box wasn’t long enough and bent the top of one of the trees. Two top small branches were damaged but the tree overall looks good and some flowering is showing. Had ordered a Japanese maple as well. Next time I order from this online nursery or any other will try to order during early spring because the leaves on the trees were drying or but that’s because of how hot it’s been. If the tress grow healthy will definitely order from here again.
