The Tuskegee Crape Myrtle is an impressive large tree, perfect for those seeking a fast-growing, vibrant addition to their landscape. Maturing at over 25ft tall and 20ft wide, this variety is ideal for providing much-needed shade, lining a driveway, or serving as a standout specimen tree. The bright watermelon pink flowers, slightly lighter in shade than those of the Tuscarora, create a stunning visual impact. With large, green leaves that can grow up to 6-8 inches long, the 18-inch+ flower clusters stand out beautifully, making the Tuskegee Crape Myrtle a truly striking tree.

Known for its exceptional cold hardiness and disease resistance, the Tuskegee Crape Myrtle is perfect for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike. The tree’s fall foliage transforms into a brilliant display of orange, red, and yellow, while the gray, white, and beige exfoliating bark adds year-round interest.
