Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei ‘Muskogee’

Lagerstroemia indica is a small, deciduous tree that in Israel reaches dimensions of 6–8 m tall only and a diameter of about 3–4 m. The tree can be planted as a solitary tree or in a group. It will nicely decorate yards and city streets, and it is also suited for patios. It is characterized by an impressive fall appearance in fire colors, ranging from yellow to red-purple. In season, Lagerstroemia indica flowers in force with dense clusters of flowers. The ‘Lilach’ cultivar’s flowers are bright pink-purple. For flowering and to achieve an optimal appearance, increase watering. It is resistant to cold and heatwaves and suits all 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.
