| Botanical Name | Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Natchez' |
| Description | The 'Natchez' is arguably the most popular white crape myrtle in the Houston metro area, and for good reason. It offers an exceptionally long blooming season, producing large, airy clusters of pure white flowers from summer through fall. As the tree matures, its bark begins to peel, revealing a rich, glossy cinnamon-brown trunk that provides stunning winter interest. Developed by the National Arboretum, it boasts world-class resistance to powdery mildew. This 15-gallon specimen is fast-growing and highly adaptable to our local heavy clay soils, though it thrives best with good drainage and plenty of Gulf Coast sunshine. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (6+ hours daily) |
| Height x Width | 20' - 30' Height x 15' - 20' Width |
| Water | Low to Moderate; once established, it is very drought tolerant, but it benefits from deep watering during extreme Texas dry spells. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Avoid excessive nitrogen to ensure maximum bloom production. |
| Pruning | Prune in late winter to remove seed pods or thin out interior crossing branches. Avoid "topping" (crape murder) to allow the beautiful bark and natural canopy to develop. |
| Deer Resistance | Medium |
