Crepe Myrtle Tonto, Lagerstroemia indica, is a showy, narrow-growing small tree with masses of fuschia red flowers in summer, highly ornamental bark and brilliant autumn colour. Bark is a rich, brown colour which reveals a lighter coloured underbark, creating a mottled effect as the tree matures. The visual display is carried into autumn with leaves of vibrant tones of red, orange and yellow. Crepe Myrtle Tonto provides a stunning highlight to the garden during the whole year.
