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

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.

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.
