Lagerstroemia indica 'Muskogee' crape myrtle

'Muskogee' is an upright, wide-spreading, multi-stemmed small tree. It is prized for it's long bloom period, exfoliating bark, and great fall foliage. Crepe-papery, showy, flowers with crimped petals bloom in summer. Thick and leathery, elliptic leaves emerge light green often with a tinge of red, andmature to dark green by summer and finally turn attractive shades of yellow-orange-red in fall. Flowers give way to round seed capsules which often persist well into winter. Smooth pale pinkish-gray bark on mature branches exfoliates with age.
