We grow the beautiful new crapemyrtle cultivars released by the U.S. National Arboretum, the University of Arkansas and Dr.Carl Whitcomb. We also list other selections of garden merit. These vigorous hybrids ( Lagerstroemia indica X Fauriei ) and the Lagerstroemia indica selections offer the gardening public shrubs and small trees with distinct growth habits, flower color, spectacular sinuate exfoliating mottled multicolored trunks, fall foliage color, and disease resistance. Tall growing plants ( up to 40' )
Superior liners produce superior plants. Attention is given to parent plant heath and vigor with maintenance of fertility including micronutrient levels. Our liners are container grown in a peat moss/perlite propagation media with Osmogote and micronutrients. They are produced off the ground and in the open air. All receive appropriate rooting hormones for a more profuse root system. These production steps enhance top and root visual grade, height and branch number and top and root weight. These steps have a substantial impact on subsequent plant growth and quality. Our policy is one of ongoing improvement in propagation methods. |
