Sounds like a good plan — good variety of Crape, and spacing is fine.

Is CMBS prevalent in your area yet? Just know you will be taking on a pest control job.

^^^ That depends on many factors. It can certainly happen, but is not a universal thing.

Where are you located, Sarah? To suggest other varieties if you can’t find that one. Not all crapes will get pests or diseases, and numerous hybrids have been bred specifically to be resistant to them.

Right. I’m in the southern us and we use a variety called Natchez white that is fungal resistant. Placement sounds fine, I have four in a 12’ x 18’ raised bed.

Thank you! I am in Sydney Australia
