Does anyone have a source for Crepe Myrtle?
Comments (2)They are not the cheapest nursery around but they carry Crape myrtle. Some nurseries may be able to special order for you. Here's a Crape myrtle on Saltspring Island by a building. May was too early for it to flower. It's more of a mid to late summer blossomer. Maybe Ray at Tropic.ca in Delta (BC) can help you if you check his site and e-mail him. He can ship to you. Good luck Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreWANTED: Crape Myrtle
Comments (9)WOW! FROM SEED you say!!! I can see I'll be waiting a few years to see if you can get one to bloom. But I'll be here if the island doesn't sink before then. I don't have a place for a continuous 85F temperature in the day, but if you do the flowering will be beautiful. I wonder what color you have. I see you have a 5 acre Playground. Take lots of pictures so you can look back as it changes over the years. If I was younger I'd be envious and I'd be living between home and the nurseries, always looking for ideas. Hope the kids enjoy it too.......and just maybe you can entice your hubby into your new love. Have fun!...See MoreSuccess of Crape Myrtle in South Central PA
Comments (42)Palmnut, surprised that your Crapes get attacked by animals. I live in 'deer central' and they ignore Crapes completely. My minors were the only in-ground palm that survived last winter. I lost some nice Trachycarpus palms. I even lost some newly planted Crapes, and loquat trees. However, these survived in addition to the Sabal minors... Podocarpus Aspidistra Camellias M. Grandifloras (no issues at all) Algerian ivy Figs Dwarf pomegranate Bay Tree I thought I would have to replace this Dynamite Crape, but it is fine and in full bloom. P.S., I think, our ridiculously deep snows (measured in feet) helped the plants with the ridiculous cold temperatures!

Comments (1)watch a few of these.. start by honing in on timing ... its usually a certain point in the growth phase ... when its easiest ... i doubt its late summer .. but it never hurts to experiment ... and to be sure.. you dont start with huge piece ... if its possible at all... you will probably be throwing away 99% of the broken pieces ... https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffcm&q=Crepe+Myrtle+propagation&iax=videos&ia=videos ken...See MorePv Picotte
