Message: [QUOTE="TexanMark, post: 3005171, member: 35"] Any of you who are risk takers: These Crape Myrtle trees are hardy to Zone 6 (the varieties linked below say Zone 5 but that is really pushing it (probably die back and become more of a shrub)). You should be safe close to Lake Ontario from Oswego to Niagara Falls in Zone 6. Inland probably best around city center of Syracuse and other warmer micro climates zones in the Finger Lakes.

They are all over the South up to the mid-Atlantic to Zone 7, and keep their flowers for months and have a really interesting bark when dormant. The ones at the link above might be worth a try for you in Zone 6. [IMG]http://www.crapemyrtle.com/uploads/2/7/8/1/27814181/s571206031129726741_p30_i1_w400.jpeg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
