A long period of striking summer flower color, attractive fall foliage, superior bark exfoliation, good disease and insect resistance and good drought tolerance all combine to make this Crape-Myrtle a favorite small tree for either formal or informal landscapes. It is highly recommended for planting in urban and suburban areas. Â It does not attract wildlife and has no significant litter problem. It has showy trunk and branches. Â The branches droop as the tree grows, and will require pruning for vehicular or pedestrian clearance beneath the canopy. Â It is routinely grown with, or trainable to be grown with, multiple trunks.
