Why Plant Zuni Crape Myrtle?
Zuni is a classic for a reason: it brings a long season of color, a naturally tidy shape, and four-season appeal that feels both easy and intentional. In summer, it blooms in lavender-purple clusters that pop against glossy green foliage, and because it flowers on new growth, it has a reliable rhythm year after year. When autumn arrives, the leaves shift into orange and red tones, and once the foliage drops, the smooth, exfoliating bark steps in to keep the tree looking interesting through winter. If you want the crape myrtle look with a more compact footprint and a refined, “already-designed” vibe, Zuni is a smart, beautiful pick.
How to use Zuni Crape Myrtle in the landscape?
Plant Zuni as a sunny focal point near an entry, at the corner of a home, or beside a patio where the summer blooms can be enjoyed up close and the bark can be appreciated in winter. It also works beautifully in a sunny border or along a driveway where a repeating planting creates a ribbon of summer color and fall warmth, and its compact canopy makes it especially useful in smaller front yards where you want a flowering tree without the sprawl. Give it full sun for the best blooms and strongest overall performance, and allow enough space for the canopy to develop its natural rounded form.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
