Hearty & Beautiful Crepe Myrtle

I received my bare-root crepe myrtle plants early this year and immediately potted them. I have **** worked with bare root plants before but I was hopeful I could be successful;. I was! Over the summer they sprouted and filled out beautifully. I gave one to my brother for his new house and kept one for my house. I can't wait for them to mature enough to produce blooms, but the leaves alone are gorgeous. I plan to make future purchases from TN Nursery and continue to share that with fellow gardeners.

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees

Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.

Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.

Red Crepe Myrtle thrives in well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering. Trim in winter or spring to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches. Fertilize annually to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
