Like a tree our growth
depends upon our ability to soften
loosen and shed boundaries
and defense we no longer need.

As all Crepe Myrtles grow and mature, they shed last year’s bark, revealing a colorful, mottled bark beneath. Once the tree has reached full maturity, you are in for a real show. This is the trunk of our oldest Crepe Myrtle that is in the process of shedding. I love the colors and smooth feel of the new bark.
