    Sweet! Nice to see one so tall and blooming so early! I bought a 4ft Natchez this spring and am going to try to protect the wood in winter. fingers crossed.

      Awesome! Wishing you good luck! I looked on Google Maps and these have been here since at least 2012. Might come back in January to see if they are protected. Thanks!

    Crepe Myrtle is easy for me to grow and propagate because I'm on the gulf coast. Crepe Myrtle enjoys hot weather and all day full sun. I'm surprised they even bloom at all as far north as where you are.

    I'm going to give you and everybody else a lesson on Crepe Myrtle, dude. You're braggin' about how tall this one is, when that concept is gonna backfire on you. I can tell right now, the root system is being strained. This one in your video is well past the point of pruning requirements. Plus, the fact of where you are, your Septembers don't have the 80-85° heat there is here. Furthermore, if those inside branches coming up start clashing, you, or whoever is supposed to maintain this, have failed. I see people make this blunder CONSTANTLY. If you don't get out there with fertilizer, water, and keep this ground broke up, Crepe Myrtle will fail to bloom. It will look weak. Same principle with ANY rose bush. This one needs to be pruned back from top, sides, and all the way around to be shaped. I oughta charge for these lessons.

      @@stratoleft No one asked you for a lesson, dude. This homeowner clearly knows how to take care of these particular Crepe’s at this location. Google Maps Street View show these plants being installed prior to at least May 2012. Seems like if what you’re saying is true, wouldn’t they be long dead and gone by now?
