Natchez White Crape Myrtle Trees for Sale Online

Famous for their extended bloom time, Natchez White Crape Myrtle Trees (Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Natchez') blossom pure white flower clusters in June that can last up to 5 months before they fall away in the fall. At this time the dark green glossy leaves turn orange and red that fit beautifully in with the autumn colors. When this deciduous tree sheds its leaves, all that is left is the smooth, dark cinnamon-brown bark that brings the tree year-round interest.

Growing up to 5 feet a year, the White Crape Myrtle can be 20 feet tall at maturity. It is ideal for growing zones 7 to 9 but can tolerate the harsher conditions of zone 6 with extra care.

Their resilience extends further: these trees are pest, disease, deer, and mildew resistant and can tolerate drought conditions once established. The only pest that bothers this tree is the aphid. This problem can be combated with horticultural oil, neem oil, or insecticidal soap.

The Natchez Crape Myrtle can be used as a large shrub or small tree and trained as a privacy screen or hedge when planted together in a line. This enchanting tree is sure to shine whether you place it in a mixed garden, or as a specimen plant in the center of your yard.
