    Plant care

    The Muskogee Crape Myrtle Tree should be planted in a location that receives full, direct sunlight in well-drained soil to ensure that the tree has the necessary conditions to thrive. Muskogee is very tolerant of both dry and wet heat and is a fantastic choice for your California landscape.

    Watering is an important part of caring for the Muskogee Crape Myrtle Tree. To aid in the development of its robust root system, we advise you to water it generously after planting for the first few weeks following to help establish a root system. Once established in the landscape, the tree is drought tolerant but it is best to water deeply during extended dry spells. 
     
    When it comes to fertilizing, it is best to fertilize it once a year, preferably in the spring with a balanced fertilizer, such as our Gardner & Bloome 4-4-4 Organic All Purpose Fertilizer.  Follow instructions on the package and avoid over fertilizing as this will burn roots and harm your tree. 
     
    The Muskogee Crape Myrtle Tree requires pruning as a part of its maintenance. To shape, thin out, rejuvenate, and manage its size, prune in late winter or early spring by removing crossed, damaged, or erratic branches. If any sucker branches develop at the base of the trunk, remove by pruning. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to prevent damage to the tree.
     
    The Muskogee Crape Myrtle Tree is pest and disease resistant and will flourish in your garden and give you a stunning and eye-catching addition to your landscape for years to come.
