Thanks Dot, glad you enjoyed the virtual walk through.
Yes, the colors of Crape Myrtle are a welcome sight from all
the summer green.
Debra, we have a few that sucker a lot. I assumed they wanted to be
shrubs, not trees. They won the battle. It surprised me that they
produced seedlings.
Same with some flowering cherries. Got
seedlings from them as well, and a couple of those seedlings are
weeping types. One bloomed this year, the blossoms are a bit
smaller than the parent tree, but nice enough.
