That is a very generous offer Igor. Many of our members live in cold climates, do you know what the cold hardiness rating is on your cultivar of crapemyrtle?
Scott - Colorado Springs, CO - Zone 4/5 (Depending on the year) - Elevation 6266ft

I do not know what is the hardiness of my cultivar but after some reading, it seems they all should tolerate up to a zone 8. The hybrids go as low as zone 7 but die to the ground like figs and grow back.
I wish I knew the name of mine. They are pure white with handsome bark.
Crepe Myrtle is grown extensively here in KY (zone 6a/b). In other words, it's a very popular landscape plant around here. I have a nice purple bloom variety in my yard.
Two things I don't know about them though. 1) I don't know if yours is a different cultivar & would be less cold hardy or the same as the one that's grown around here(?) 2) I also didn't know that Crepe Myrtle can be grown from hardwood cuttings. Not doubting that, just didn't know.....
Zone 6b. West KY.
My eBay username is fruitnut.
Fig Well and Prosper!
Yes, they root well from the hardwood cuttings.
Wow! 6a/b is steep. The web mentioned 7 as the lowest zone.
Mine is definitely a different cultivar, I could find about 30 in general and 4 or so white
Learn something new every day. I didn't know you could root crepe myrtle cuttings. Can this be done with dormant cuttings or does it need to be active/awake? I ask because I have a maroon crepe myrtle and wouldn't mind extending it into a hedge.
Bryant...Franklin County, VA...Zone 7a. Wish List: a 32 hour day....more sleep
Brian, that's great!
I prune mine heavily every year to approximately 12 ft tall . If left alone, I think they would go to 20 or so ft. You can easily create any shape with the branches and keep the trees at any height.
