Why Natchez Crape Myrtle Trees?
Imagine an incredible 110 days of flower power! The Natchez will delight you with hundreds of delicate white flowers from June to September. Especially since it's a fast grower that delights all summer long.
The Natchez Crape grows rapidly at 3 to 5 feet a year and is tolerant of many climates. Through the toughest conditions and weather, the Natchez' pure white blooms will explode in brilliance against the tree's deep green canopy.
The Natchez Crape Myrtle also delivers unusual bark coloring of cinnamon on the trunk and stems, along with its smooth, sleek distinctive texture. This coloring gives you great winter interest with a brightness not found in most other trees during the cold season.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location with full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily) and well-drained soil. Dig your hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep.
Place your Natchez in the hole and make sure that the root crown (where the root ball meets the trunk(s) of the tree) is level with the soil surface. Backfill and then mulch the area around the tree.
2. Watering: While establishing, Myrtles may need a bit more attention with watering during the hot summer season. Once they're established, they subsist on rainfall alone, but we recommend watering about once or twice weekly while they're young.
If you're not sure when to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 3 inches down for dryness.
3. Fertilizing: Your Natchez will benefit from a light application of a complete, balanced, slow-release fertilizer formula in the early spring and summer.
4. Pruning: Only a light pruning of the myrtle is needed to encourage plenty of blooms. Remove any dead and damaged branches, and prune back to about 4 or 5 strong trunks.

United StatesPretty good
I purchased this tree almost 5 years ago now. It arrived undamaged with a nice 4 trunk structure and looking healthy. I live just north of Austin, TX and it has done great through record setting heat and cold spells. As is common with larger nursery plants, It arrived pretty root bound so I loosened the dirt and made 4 deep cuts on the outer roots to help it spread and establish. It was also planted too deep in the pot so I cut away about the top inch of roots so that the trunk collars wouldn’t become girdled. Planted it, mulched, and provided regular water 1-3x/week the first 2 years in summer and once a week after that. It has doubled in size so far and looks great.
United StatesHealthy
Easy ordering arrived undamaged and healthy. I planted the same day and time will tell how it matures. Small mix-up with email notifications that said it was delayed. It ended up that it was not delayed and arrived on the scheduled date.

United StatesBeautiful
Exactly as advertised.
United Stateshappy trees in a box
I got two. The trees arrived just fine in the same box facing opposite ends so don't be alarmed if it is a single box. They look great. I planted them in the ground and they are already budding new leaves so I figure they are healthy. I love how they were both in a box with bags around the pots to keep the moisture in.
