Lagerstroemia 'Tuscarora' (Tuscarora Crepe Myrtle Standard) is a spectacular deciduous feature tree prized for its abundant coral-pink to deep pink flowers and elegant upright form. During summer, large clusters of crinkled, crepe-like blooms create a striking display against its deep green foliage, while the leaves develop attractive orange-red tones in autumn. Its smooth, exfoliating bark adds further seasonal interest, making it an appealing choice even outside its flowering period.
The standard form provides a clean, elevated canopy that works beautifully as a feature tree, along driveways, in formal gardens, or as an avenue planting. Hardy, sun-loving and relatively low maintenance, Tuscarora Crepe Myrtle Standard offers long-lasting seasonal colour and strong visual appeal while requiring little attention once established.
