Ordered the advertised 5ft Muskegee Crape Myrtle. Received a bundle of 5 pencil thin twigs coming out of a ball that including the ball (18 inches) was 5ft. Called company to return but there is a no return policy. Managed to receive $20 discount in return. Off of $99 it is still expensive. 3 months later still a twig but with some leaves.
If you live in charlotte area go to Garden Grove in Huntersville. There you will get a TREE for $99 that will make your neighbors envious.
