| I need to replace two bradford pears that have gotten too large for the front yard. Can you suggest a new tree that will be slow growing and will not get as large as the bradford pear? I am only going to put in one tree. |
| Marianne, I like crape myrtles as they are available in many colors and sizes. Just check the final size before selecting a crape myrtle variety. Go to the following web site which will allow you to search for Monrovia plants by name, and type in "crape myrtle". You'll get a listing of varieties which you can select from for more info and in some cases a photo. http://www.monrovia.com/PlantI... Additionally, these next 2 web sites have a chart that provides many varieties and their sizes: http://pubs.caes.uga.edu/caesp... http://aggie-horticulture.tamu... This next web site offers suggestions for more small trees and large shrubs to consider for your Georgia website: http://pubs.caes.uga.edu/caesp... Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon! |
