Overview & Specifications
Tuscarora Crepe Myrtle Lagerstroemia 'Tuscarora'
Few flowering trees deliver the seasonal presence of Tuscarora Crepe Myrtle at this scale. Vivid coral-pink blooms, striking cinnamon-toned bark, and a commanding upright form make this a specimen of genuine year-round distinction. At advanced sizes, the impact is immediate.
Why Tuscarora Crepe Myrtle
Flowering Spectacle: Extended summer bloom in bold coral-pink; one of the most prolific and long-lasting displays of any flowering tree available in advanced stock.
Ornamental Bark: Exfoliating cinnamon and grey bark provides structural interest through autumn and winter when foliage is absent.
Autumn Colour: Foliage transitions to rich orange and red tones, extending seasonal value well beyond the flowering period.
Heat & Drought Tolerance: Performs reliably across Australia's warmer climates with minimal irrigation once established.
Mildew Resistance: A proven hybrid with strong resistance to powdery mildew, reducing maintenance demands on commercial and prestige projects.
Ideal Applications
Feature Planting: A standalone specimen in a focal position where seasonal drama is the intent.
Avenue & Allée Planting: Uniform form and consistent flowering make Tuscarora an excellent choice for formal repeated plantings along driveways or pathways.
Residential Streetscapes: Suited to high-end residential frontages requiring year-round visual interest at height.
Commercial Landscapes: Reliable, low-maintenance performance across hospitality, retail, and mixed-use developments.
