Question
We live in St. Petersburg, FL and have just installed a paver driveway.  We had to remove a bottle brush tree and want to replace it with a blooming tree that will not lift or damage our driveway when it gets bigger.  Any suggestions?  Thanks...Jill

Answer
Crapemyrtle will suit you fine, any variety you like will work. They bloom all summer and stay small. Or you could try a blooming orchid tree...may be a little cold sensitive.
By the way how's St. Pete? I am originally from T.I. if you have lived there long you'll know what that means.
