My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    I designed this job and they are in fact 'Muskogee' Crepe Myrtles.

      Those appear to be crepe myrtles. There are dozens of varieties with different color blooms. They also vary in height at maturity from 15 to 30 ft. But they always have those interesting and distinctive trunks.

      Thank you. They look much taller than most crepe myrtles so it threw me off. The trunks are fabulous....

      are you sure they are crepe myrtles? really are tall and bark is so light. I do like these trees and would like to know if they are crepe myrtles, what variety? / name of variety?
    • 13 years ago
      Most likely the variety is Natchez

      Thank you for that information. I appreciate it. I really like the trees.

      Thanks very much! Trees installed at 18'. Imported from Georgia. All the best!

      What technique did you use to train the crape myrtles to grow so upright? Any optimal number of trunks? Thanks.
