  • Welcome Gardeners I finally found the perfect tree for my garden, a white "Natchez" Crepe Myrtle Tree. It wasn't easy planting this big tree by myself but with GOD’s help I was able to get it in the ground and cant wait to see the gorgeous blooms! For many reasons I chose a crepe myrtle tree and I will share a helpful tree planting tip as well. Garden Happy is a small garden in California zone9b with now 3 Crepe Myrtle Trees in the garden.

      Awww Thank you so much TheSummerLand6165… Abby really is the best!!! It’s so funny. I don’t realize she follows me around so much until I’m editing the video and looking at the footage. You are so right, and it’s so cute. Appreciate you taking the time to watch my video.❤️👍🥰Liz

    Amen sister! I felt that prayer…every word. 😂 When your tree toppled over and your camera went flying, I said to myself…this is me 100 percent!!! Sometimes I use colorful garden language such as “oh sugar snap peas”! 😂 I’m an Aries and I’m stubborn as an ox! I recently added brick paneling to my garden shed and was struggling. I refused to call hubby for help. After many minutes of wrestling that paneling, I did it! We feel so accomplished when we get tasks done and do it ourselves. Best feeling EVER! Loved the video and that tree is going to be lovely in it’s new home.

    I was planning on buying a Chinese pistache but now I definitely want to get the Natchez white Crepe Myrtle Tree it looks beautiful and I like how fast it grows! Great job Liz you did it!!! Praise God! Have a heavenly day!

    • @GardenHappy
      @GardenHappy  6 місяців тому +2

      Thank you so much for your encouraging comment. I will admit the Chinese pistache is a gorgeous tree. But it does grow slow, doesnt have flowers and that is why I did not plant that one. Crêpe myrtle trees bloom in the summer time and then have beautiful fall leaves. Also if you’re looking for a tree that grows extremely fast, consider the Muskogee crape myrtle. That variety grows just as fast but it has gorgeous lavender flowers. Thanks for stopping by! ❤️👍🥰Liz

      Oh my goodness Lucy, those Muskogee crape myrtles are absolutely gorgeous. I was going to plant the Muskogee but I thought the lavender color would clash with my red rocket. That’s so funny you mention Abby. I did not even see her in the video. I need to go back and watch it. Hahaha have a great weekend and thank you for your nice comment.👍🥰❤️Liz

    Crepe Myrtles are great small trees. Just to do not butcher them by cutting back all the limbs like some people mistakenly do. I am sure you will check out the correct way to prune them.

    Actually, you have your figures incorrect for those crape myrtles. You are talking about maintenance heights that people keep those trees at. Dynamite can become a 25ft tree. The trees you mentioned can be well over 20ft tall.

    • @GardenHappy
      @GardenHappy  6 місяців тому +1

      Thank you so much for letting me know about my incorrect figures. I’m always learning something new every day that’s for sure. However the Zuni crêpe myrtle I have had for seven years now and it still has not reached over 9 feet tall. As far as the dynamite tree goes, I would be very pleased to know that it can grow taller than 12 feet, so I appreciate you taking the time to let me know all this. Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by. 👍🥰❤️Liz
