Reviews for "Plum Magic Crape Myrtels: A Gardener's Guide to Success"
1. Mary - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Plum Magic Crape Myrtel tree I purchased. The color of the blooms was not at all what I expected. Instead of a vibrant plum color, they were more of a dull pink shade. Additionally, the tree did not grow as tall or full as I had hoped, leaving it looking sparse and unimpressive in my yard. I would not recommend this particular variety to anyone looking for a beautiful and eye-catching crape myrtle.
2. John - 1/5 - I've had a negative experience with the Plum Magic Crape Myrtel tree in my garden. Not only did it struggle to thrive, but the blooms were not as abundant or showy as I had anticipated. The tree seemed weak and lacked the lush foliage seen in other crape myrtles. Overall, I was incredibly disappointed with my purchase and would discourage others from buying this variety.
3. Sarah - 3/5 - While the Plum Magic Crape Myrtel tree in my yard did manage to survive and produce somewhat decent blooms, I wasn't overly impressed with its overall performance. The color of the blooms was not as vibrant as I had hoped, and the tree didn't grow as vigorously as other crape myrtles I've seen. If you're looking for a standout crape myrtle variety, I would recommend considering other options before settling for Plum Magic.
