    About Lagerstroemia indica × fauriei ‘Acoma’ Multi

    Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Acoma' is a deciduous, semi weeping Crepe Myrtle grown here in multistem form. Pure white flower panicles hang from arching branches through summer and autumn, the dark green leaves turn orange to red before dropping, and smooth mottled bark holds the display together in winter.

    Full sun and fertile, free draining soil bring the heaviest flowering. Growth runs about 40 to 80 centimetres a year to a rounded plant of roughly 2.5 to 3 metres in height and a similar spread. Light to moderate frost is tolerated once established, and heat, humidity and urban conditions are taken in stride.

    The multistem frame gives a low, layered canopy that suits courtyards, driveway edges, raised planters and feature positions near seating. Its modest final size keeps it clear of eaves and services on tight residential blocks, which is why designers specify it for small formal spaces that still need a flowering tree.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    About Acoma Crepe Myrtle

    What is a multistem Crepe Myrtle?

    A multistem plant is trained with several trunks rising from near ground level instead of one clear stem. On 'Acoma' this produces a broader, lower and more layered canopy, and it shows off the mottled bark at eye height. The look is softer and more sculptural than a standard tree form, and it reads well in courtyards.

    How big does Acoma Crepe Myrtle grow?

    'Acoma' is one of the smaller Crepe Myrtles, settling at roughly 2.5 to 3 metres tall with a spread much the same or slightly wider, thanks to its arching branches. It is a semi dwarf selection, so it stays useful on small blocks where a full sized Crepe Myrtle would quickly outgrow the space available.

    What colour are the flowers and when do they appear?

    The flowers are pure white, carried in loose panicles on the ends of arching branches through summer and autumn, roughly December to April. Because the branches weep slightly, the flower trusses hang rather than stand upright. Cool white flowers show up better in shaded courtyards and evening light than the darker pink selections do.

    Is it frost tolerant?

    Yes, once established it handles light to moderate frost without damage. Being deciduous, it is bare through the coldest part of the year anyway, which removes most of the risk. Young plants in their first winter benefit from a thick mulch layer over the root zone in districts where heavy frost is normal.

    Does it need full sun?

    Full sun gives the best result by a wide margin. Six hours or more of direct sun produces dense flowering, strong autumn colour and a compact habit. In part shade the plant still grows well but flowers sparsely and stretches toward the light. Avoid positions under large evergreen trees or against a shaded south wall.

    Is it suitable for small gardens?

    It is one of the better choices for a small garden. The final size of around 2.5 to 3 metres keeps it below gutter height, the roots are not aggressive, and the multistem canopy gives shade without blocking a whole yard. It works in a narrow bed, a raised planter or a courtyard corner.

    How do I care for Acoma Crepe Myrtle?

    Water deeply through the first two summers, then it becomes fairly self sufficient. Prune in late winter, removing any suckers from the base, crossing wood and spent flower heads, and keep the chosen trunks clean so the bark stays visible. Feed once in early spring and mulch the root zone, keeping mulch off the stems.
