Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Tuscarora'
Crepe Myrtle (hot pink)
|
| Description | This deciduous tree has small oval shaped green leaves which turn a stunning reddish/orange in autumn. The most striking part of the tree is the beautiful display of vibrant, hot pink, crinkled flowers which appear in late summer. Flowers form on new growth, and so are encouraged by winter pruning. Bark peels off to reveal a smooth trunk which is beige in colour with red-brown streaks. |

| Uses | A fantastic feature tree both in autumn and spring. It can be used in streetscape, parks and gardens of any size. A clever choice for space-limited landscapes. Seasonal beauty with smooth winter limbs and summer flower bracts. Relatively-hardy, this variety is resistant to powdery mildew and will tolerate periods of dryness once established. |
| Position & Soil | Prefers well drained humus rich soil in a full sun position. Can tolerate most conditions but moisture is preferred in dry periods when young. |
