Flower colour: White (summer)
Form: Weeping, cascading branches
Best for: Home gardens, feature planting, ornamental landscapes
Personality: Soft, flowing, and elegant

Why choose ‘Acoma’

‘Acoma’ is prized for its distinct weeping habit, setting it apart from upright white Crepe Myrtles. In summer, branches are covered in delicate white flowers that drape and cascade, creating a softer, more romantic presence in the garden.

For home gardeners

Ideal if you love white flowers but want something with movement and softness. ‘Acoma’ works beautifully as a standalone feature tree or focal point in smaller gardens.

For landscapers & designers

A go-to option when upright trees feel too rigid. The cascading form pairs well with curved paths, water features, and relaxed planting schemes.

For councils & projects

Best suited to parks and feature locations rather than tight streets, where its natural spread and form can be fully appreciated.

Size & pruning approach

‘Acoma’ responds well to pruning, but its beauty lies in its natural, flowing structure. While it tolerates hard pruning, best results come from selective thinning and light shaping to maintain the weeping habit.

Mature height (unpruned): approx. 5–7 m
Mature width (unpruned): approx. 6–8 m
Common pruned height: approx. 3–4 m
Pruning window: late winter to early spring

Crepe Myrtles are often hard pruned (“crepe murder”) and still flower, but repeated heavy pruning can reduce the graceful, cascading form that makes ‘Acoma’ special.

Planting & care

Sun: Full sun for best flowering
Water: Regular watering during establishment; drought tolerant once established
Soil: Well-drained soil preferred
Maintenance: Low; occasional shaping maintains form

Compare: ‘Acoma’ vs ‘Natchez’ (White Crepe Myrtles)

Feature	‘Acoma’	‘Natchez’
Flower colour	White	Pure white
Growth habit	Weeping, cascading	Upright, architectural
Overall feel	Soft, ornamental	Clean, structured
Best use	Feature gardens, focal points	Shade trees, streetscapes

Quick guide: Choose ‘Acoma’ for a graceful, cascading white feature tree. Choose ‘Natchez’ for a bold, upright white statement.

A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.

Healthy plants and quick delivery.

I ordered 22 Escallonia plants shortly before Christmas for a new informal hedge. The plants arrived quickly and are all very healthy and of a similar height. I’m extremely happy with both the plants and service provided!
