Crepe myrtles are prolifically flowering deciduous trees with a sculptural form. Cultivars vary in size from 4 to 8m in height with spreading upright branches. Flowering occurs from mid-summer to autumn, followed by reddish leaves in autumn and peeling cinnamon-coloured bark which appears with maturity. Crepe myrtles are tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions and are resistant to powdery mildew. Popular cultivars include 'Tuscarora', 'Sioux', 'Biloxi', 'Zuni' and 'Yuma'.
