Lagerstroemia indica Crape Myrtle Lythraceae (Crape Myrtle Family) - The tree grows up to 15 feet and bears

masses of colourful flowers. - Its smooth bark is ornamental,

showing patches of tan and gray. - It is wind resistant and will tolerate

some drought once well-established. - Planted in full sun in a rich, drained

soil. - Watered deeply but not often. - It makes a good shade tree but finds

its highest use as a strong colour accent.

- It finds use as a screen and hedge.

Plumeria pudica Puerto Rican Frangipani Apocynaceae (Dogbane Family) - This evergreen tree grows at 15 feet in

height. - It bears unusual foliage described as

“spoon shaped” or lobed. - The canopy, which is somewhat

columnar, tends to become quite dense.

- It likes full sun and good drainage. - It has moderate salt tolerance and

good drought tolerance. - It is useful as a flowering accent, a

background for smaller species, or planted as a screen or as a shade tree in a narrow space.

- It will tolerate moderate wind. - Cotton Rose is a moderately rapid

grower. In addition to its shade-giving properties, it can be used in garden for its colour.

Plumeria lambertiana Baja Plumeria Apocynaceae (Dogbane Family) - It is a valuable tree, 3 feet in height

with a columnar habit of growth. - It is moderately slow growing. - It provides a strong flowering accent

but not much shade due to its growth habit.

- It is a good candidate for the xeriscape.

- Planted in full sun in a drained soil and water sparingly once established.
