Removing Oaks Trees and Replanting Crape Myrtles for the DOT! How to Properly Take Care of New Trees

- Removing these 4 year old trees from the street has been heartbreaking. However the newly planted Crape Myrtles look nice along the sidewalks and streets. The developers made a mistake or the rules have been changed. Not sure which one! The developers of the neighborhood want to turn over the streets to the DOT and the trees were not approved. The DOT stated that during maturity of the trees the root system will get 3X larger than it’s canopy. I am a little disappointed they had to do this during the hottest part of the summer. I hope this video helps everyone who takes care of a new tree planted in the heat of the summer.

Sad to see existing trees cut down however, they did replace with a beautiful tree. Good luck to you and your neighborhood.
These will be gorgeous when they’re all blooming at the same time. ❤
Heartbreaking 💔
I'm surprised they're replacing them with crepe myrtles. Here in Virginia Beach (not too far from you), developers originally planted the dreaded bradford pears. As those decay and fall apart, the city is replacing them with some kind of linden or elm; refuse to plant crepe myrtles as they are weak and prone to crack/breaking near the oceanfront winds/weather. I hope yours do well. I do love the light lilac ones.
I love the new trees! Great information as well🤍
Guessing I need to change my handle🤔🫣🤭
Thank you for sharing this. I think I'm a street or two down from you, and the same thing will be happening to us.
Welcome
Thank you for sharing in such detail. I’m planning to plant a crepe myrtle after finish cleaning a new section in my garden
That is really sad to have to destroy those beautiful trees!!! I hate that.
It will be gorgeous when all bloom! They are messy though. So sad to have the mature ones cut down.
Kim, taking down a tree is hard and I understand you not wanting to. If you drive through a neighborhood with mature oak tress and see the damage from an oak you will appreciate the removal. It would be smart for home developers and horticulturalist to work together in determining which tress and landscaping would be best in a neighborhood with housed build close. Oak trees need to be on a large property where they can spread out. It is not fair to a customer to place an oak tree in a yard where in 20 years the root system will begin to damage the sidewalks, driveways, underground sprinklers, etc. our neighborhood require them and I hate it but I got approval to remove mine. I planted a Crape Myrtle as well. I prefer a tree that will not cause as much damage. I like the Crape Myrtle.
I agree with everything you just said.
Sorry to tell you but, crêpe myrtle trees are no better their are roots runs everywhere I know from experience. They are pretty and that’s all!!
I’m sure. I’m guessing crape Myrtles are less invasive than oaks.
