Are Crepe Myrtles Deciduous?
You may have heard that crepe myrtles are deciduous trees, but what does that mean? In short, it means that they lose their leaves during Autumn and winter months. However, there is a bit more to it than that. Here's everything you need to know about the deciduous nature of crepe myrtles. Crepe myrtle Characteristics: Growth Rate: Crepe myrtles are slow growing trees Deciduous or Evergreen Trees? Crepe Myrtle Trees are Deciduous Use Cases: Excellent feature trees and Street Trees Best time to Plant: Plant in Winter or Spring Height: Crepe myrtle trees can grow up to 15 meters tall (depending on variety) Leaves: Crepe myrtele leaves have a soft, velvety texture that is similar to the feel of silk. They are dark green with a light brownish tint on the underside. The leaves turn a beautiful red color in fall. Disease Resistance: Crepe myrtle trees are resistant to most common diseases Watering: Crepe myrtles are quite drought tolerant once established – just be sure to regularly water throughout it’s first summer once planted. Pruning: Prune during winter so you can see the entire branch structure without foliage. Remove any dead wood and suckers anytime throughout the year. Sun: Crepe myrtles tolerate full sun, but they prefer partial shade. Soil: Crepe myrtle trees can be grown in a wide range of soil types. Propagation: Crepe Myrtles can be propagated by seed or cut Flower: Crepe Myrtle Trees flower in the summer months Look: All crepe myrtles have a mottled drunk, beautiful bark, vibrant flowers and more. There are many different species of Crepe Myrtle that all grow various flower colours. During summer, crepe myrtles have full branches of flowers (flower colours include: pink flowers, white flowers, mauve flowers, deep maroon flowers and more.) What Does It Mean for a Plant to Be Deciduous? A deciduous plant is one that loses its leaves during autumn and winter months. The leaves will grow back during the spring and summer. Many trees are deciduous, including maples, oaks, and elms. Some shrubs are also deciduous, such as rhododendrons and azaleas. And, of course, crepe myrtles are deciduous trees as well. Why are plants Deciduous? There are a few reasons why plants become deciduous. One reason is to protect themselves from extreme cold weather. When the temperatures start to drop in autumn, the leaves of a deciduous plant will begin to change color. Once the leaves have changed colour, they will fall off of the plant. This helps to insulate the plant and protect it from the cold winter weather. Another reason why plants become deciduous is to conserve water. During the autumn and winter months, there is usually less water available for plants to use. When a plant doesn't have enough water, it will shed its leaves in order to prevent itself from drying out completely. If a plant has no leaves, then it won't be able to photosynthesize (convert sunlight into energy) and produce food for itself. In late summer to late spring, crepe myrtle trees produce large flowers that vary depending on what species of crepe myrtle. They are fantastic bird attracting trees, which makes them great additions to your garden. What Are the Benefits of Being Deciduous? There are several benefits to being deciduous. One benefit is that it allows a plant to better tolerate cold weather. By shedding its leaves, a plant can prevent itself from being damaged by low temperatures. Another benefit of being deciduous is that it gives plants a chance to rest. During the winter months, when there are no leaves on a deciduous plant, the plant doesn't have to expend energy on producing food through photosynthesis. This allows the plant to store up energy so that it can put forth a strong growth spurt come springtime. Finally, being deciduous also allows plants to get rid of old or damaged leaves. Shedding leaves helps plants get rid of leaves that are no longer photosynthesizing effectively or that have been damaged by pests or disease. This helps the plant stay healthy and looking its best. As you can see, there are many reasons why crepe myrtles (and other plants) become deciduous in nature. This adaptation allows them to better tolerate cold weather, conserve water, and get rid of old or damaged leaves. So, if you're thinking about purchasing a crepe myrtle for your home or garden, rest assured knowing that its tendency to lose its leaves in the autumn and winter is perfectly normal!

Evergreen Trees Direct Best Sellers: Manchurian Pear Trees, Capital Pears, Cleveland Select or Chanticleer Pear Planting ornamental pears When choosing where to plant your ornamental pear tree, consider its mature size when deciding on the right location. You will need to ensure that you have enough space around it. At Evergreen Trees Direct we suggest planting pear trees from between 1m - 2m apart. This way, each tree gets its own area of sunlight and can develop into a healthy specimen. How to Grow and Care for Ornamental Pear Trees As we mentioned, Ornamental pears are quite tolerant of urban conditions and are therefore low-maintenance trees. However, they will benefit from a little bit of care and attention. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil, so make sure you choose a spot in your garden that meets these requirements. Watering Watering your ornamental pear tree can be tricky. You want to make sure that you are watering enough but not too much. If you water too often, then you run the risk of overwatering the root system. This could cause rot and disease. On the other hand, if you don't water enough, then you may have a problem with dryness. When watering, try to aim at the bottom of the trunk rather than directly at the leaves. Fertilization As with all trees, it's important to fertilize your ornamental pear tree regularly. This will help it to grow strong and healthy, and resist pests and diseases. Use a balanced fertilizer such as compost or manure, and apply it around the base of the tree once a year or every two years. There are many different types of fertilizers out there, and they each work differently. Some fertilizers contain micronutrients like iron, zinc, copper, manganese, and magnesium. These elements are needed for healthy plant growth. Other fertilizers contain macro-nutrients like calcium, phosphorous, and potassium. These elements are needed to build strong stems and branches. Contact us if you need assistance. Mulching Mulching is a great way to protect your ornamental pear tree from weeds and pests. It also helps retain moisture and keeps the soil cool. When choosing a mulch, look for something that has good drainage properties. Pruning Ornamental pear trees don't require much pruning, but you can give them a light trim in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth. Pruning an ornamental pear tree is similar to pruning most other trees. Start by removing dead branches from the top of the tree. Then remove any branches that cross over another branch. Finally, cut back the remaining branches to encourage new growth. Be careful not to damage the main stem of the tree. Ornamental Pear Tree Pests and Diseases Ornamental pears are relatively resistant to pests and diseases, but there are a few things you should be on the lookout for. Common problems include aphids, scale insects and caterpillars. These can be controlled with regular applications of an insecticide or fungicide. Diseases that can affect ornamental pears include fire blight, root rot and leaf spot. These can be treated with a fungicide, but it's always best to Prevention is the best cure, so make sure you choose a healthy tree to plant in your garden. Ornamental pear tree propagation Ornamental pear trees can be propagated by seed, but it's much easier (and faster) to grow them from cuttings. Simply take a cutting from a healthy tree in late spring or early summer, and plant it in moist well-drained soil. Keep the cutting moist until it has rooted, then transplant it to its permanent location. What happens if my ornamental pear gets wind damage? If your ornamental pear tree has suffered from wind damage, you should get it checked out by a professional arborist. Wind damage can lead to structural issues, which can result in the tree falling down. In some cases, this can even lead to the death of the entire tree.
