Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

The Choctaw Crape Myrtle typically grows to a height of about 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 meters) with a spread of 8 to 15 feet (2.4 to 4.5 meters). It has an upright, vase-shaped growth habit and attractive peeling bark that adds visual interest to the tree, especially during the winter months.

In addition to its striking flowers, the Choctaw Crape Myrtle also offers attractive foliage. The leaves are dark green and turn shades of orange, red, or burgundy in the fall, providing a lovely autumn display.

This cultivar is known for its resistance to powdery mildew, a common fungal disease that can affect Crape Myrtle trees. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, and once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant.

Overall, the Choctaw Crape Myrtle is a beautiful and versatile tree that can be used as a specimen plant, in groupings, or as a focal point in the landscape. It adds vibrant color and visual interest to gardens and is a favorite among gardeners and landscapers.
