I live in Alabama, zone 8 and my crepe myrtle is just now leafing out. So,
yes, they are somewhat late to start leafing, and should bloom mid to late
summer, usually around late July.

I received a gift of someones Arbor Day Foundation trees and one is a
crepe myrtle. It has yet to show signs of life and even the old black
locust is leafing out. I'm zone 6 something - Nashville TN. Are these
late bloomers or has another one bit the dust?
