Those beautiful crepe myrtle trees definitely helped us fall in love with the place. I love em!
We had a crepe myrtle at our house in FL. It was my DW’s fav plant. Very pretty.
There was another tree in back, a mimosa maybe is the name, super messy, drops seed pods, leaves, all the time. So I cut down that tree, and my wife came home and I told here I cut down the tree in back.
She started to cry. I said what’s the matter? She said, I love that tree. I said, no, not that one, the other one that we had talked about. What relief! Well, that tells you how much she liked the tree.
When we moved into our current house, in CA, one of the first trees I planted was a lemon in front. It’s nice shade, and we use a lot of lemons, it’s great to have. They are picky here, a little too cool.
