3. About 20 years ago I planted a Crepe Myrtle by my front gate.

The tag said it was a dwarf plant that would grow 10 - 12 ft. It is now approximately 30 ft and blooms without fail. It has 8 trunks. Seven of them have pale pink blooms, but one has deep rose colored blooms. Unlike other Crepe Myrtles, it has never grown any suckers at its base and all the trunks are about 15 ft tall before they branch out. It recently shed its bark so the trunks are a reddish brown color right now.
