Lagerstroemia indica ‘Dynamite’

Lagerstroemia indica is a small, deciduous tree that originates from Southeast Asia. The tree is characterized by its relative compact dimensions, and it reaches an adult height of up to 8 m and a diameter that ranges from 3–4 m. Grafted Lagerstroemia indica ‘Dynamite’ is characterized by bright, intense red flowers. The flowering is particularly spectacular. It also has an impressive fall appearance in fire colors, ranging from yellow to red-purple. For flowering and an optimal appearance, watering should be increased. Ensure that Lagerstroemia indica is planted in full sunlight and in well-drained soil to prevent powdery mildew. The tree is resistant to cold and heatwaves and is suitable for all the climate regions in Israel. It is less suited for saline soils and is likely to suffer from problems of poor drainage. Pruning the seed clusters that dry up in late winter will encourage more extensive flowering in the spring, and when branches are pruned immediately after their flowering, even more waves of flowering are obtained.
Grafted Lagerstroemia indica ‘Dynamite’ is a leading street and boulevard tree, and it will also beautify private gardens and patios.
