Question
Can you tell me what kind of tree this is?  The branches grow straight up and kind of look like they want to "weep" over.  The bloom is purple.

Answer
So sorry for the delay.  We are just getting back from vacation and I have been swamped, both by the business and questions from AllExperts.  For this reason, my answers may be a little shorter than normal.  I hope you will understand.

I need a picture to be sure of the identification of your plant.  It sounds like a Crepe Myrtle.  Size it down to a 6" x 8" picture at 72 dpi and send it to me at [email protected].

Thanks,

John
