A interesting and spectacular tree is the Lagerstroemia indica, or crepe myrtle.It flowers from early January through until the end of March.
Crepe myrtles are remarkably drought-tolerant.
Pruning a crepe myrtle is really simple. Wait until the flowers have finished and then cut it back at least 30 centimetres.
Crepe myrtles create interest all year and are adaptable to many sized gardens. All varieties provide striking colour in summer, wonderful autumn foliage and in winter have beautiful, ornate bark.
