Lagerstroemia - we call it "Lilac." I really like this shrub. When it blooms with its divine smell. It is widespread in the forests of China, Korea, India, the Philippine Islands, where it is considered a "divine flower" with mystical properties. The bush form has hard light brown shoots. The tree has a thin, strong trunk. They are covered with bark, which easily flakes to long strips.
In height, the larstemia grows to 9 meters. The width of the crown can be up to 8 meters. Its form depends on how it will be formed initially. Designers try to give it a neat appearance, cutting and mowing the young pomelets. The Asian beauty blossoms from June to October, forming small flowers at the ends of the young shoots, 2.5 cm in diameter. They gather in brooms, which in length reach 20 cm. Buds forming on short petioles, resemble dense balls and bloom gradually, beginning with the bottom, the wide part. Thank you for the post.
