Why Muskogee Crepe Myrtle is the Perfect Addition to Your Landscape
Muskogee Crepe Myrtle is hardy in zones 7-9, grown in well-drained soil and full sun. It can achieve heights of 25' with a canopy of 15-20'. Individual cultivars have some variations on mature size; the famous "Muskogee" fits this description and is widely known for its beauty. Some cities have these trees lining the streets, and the sight is breathtaking when they bloom. These trees are indeed the quintessential tree of the south.
As attractive as the flowers are, there is only one reason to plant Muskogee Crepe Myrtle. The foliage during the summer is a rich, glossy green, which is a perfect background for the magnificent blooms. But the show continues into autumn. The foliage bursts into vibrant shades of red and orange, so this tree is popular with homeowners. This tree continues to provide interest even into winter, as the bark in many cultivars is beautiful. The bark will peel in mature trees, a perfectly normal process for this tree. The trunk and branches take on different hues of color, making it a tree for all seasons.
How to Care for and Grow Muskogee Crepe Myrtle in Your Garden
This tree is easy to grow and grows rapidly. If planted in an area that allows for its eventual size, pruning is unnecessary and will allow for a showier bark pattern to emerge. It does best in lightly acid-to-acid soil; water needs are low to average once established. It does need to be planted in full sun. This is a homeowner's dream as it shows resistance to disease and drought. Even the gardener's nemesis, deer, doesn't find this tree very palatable, making this an attractive solution to the problem of uninvited guests devouring the landscape.
