@bastbrothers: Thinking about planting a crape myrtle? (and before you correct our spelling, crepe myrtle just makes us think of those delicious Nutella & strawberry stuffed creations, okay!?) Here’s what you need to know: • Hardy in Zones 7-9 • Plant in full sun (6+ hours for the best blooms) • Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots • Once established, they’re surprisingly drought tolerant • Avoid “crape murder” — only prune to remove damaged, crossing, or unwanted branches and let the tree maintain its natural form • Expect months of summer blooms, beautiful exfoliating bark, and excellent fall color Currently in stock at Bast Brothers: • Tuscarora • Scarlet • Thunderstruck White Flash • Muskogee One of the best flowering trees for a Zone 7 garden. Comment the word CRAPE and we will send you the link to these trees! Shop them online for FREE in store pickup at Bast Brothers Garden Center. Truck delivery to select zip codes available for a fee! . . . #gardentok #gardening #gardenproject #crapemyrtle #crepemyrtle
