Pink Peppermint crepe myrtle. This tree has been in this spot for more than 7 years (already planted when I bought the property), and it's clearly a slow grower. Either that or it's not in the "right" spot, since it's only grown about 8 inches in 7 years. Last year and this year I've given it more water and I feed it with a "normal" flower fertilizer every spring. It only gets morning sun, then the huge fir tree shades it from about noon for the rest of the afternoon and early evening.

It's flowering more this year . . . maybe a sign of new growth and new vigor. I can only hope.
