Why you’ll love ‘Natchez’

‘Natchez’ is the classic white Crepe Myrtle that delivers maximum impact with minimum effort. In summer, it’s covered in clean white flower clusters that pop against dark green foliage. Come autumn, leaves often shift into warm tones (gold through to orange-red), giving you a tree that earns its space across seasons.

For home gardeners

A reliable “wow tree” that’s easy to live with: strong growth, great flowering, and very forgiving if you prune. Perfect if you want something that looks designer without needing a designer.

For landscapers & designers

The ultimate neutral white that suits modern builds, coastal palettes, and minimalist planting schemes. A clean canopy line makes it ideal for framing entryways, driveways, courtyards and feature zones.

For councils & projects

A proven streetscape performer with a strong structure and consistent flowering. Ideal where repeatable results matter.

Size & pruning (Crepe Myrtles respond beautifully)

Crepe Myrtles are famously pruning-responsive. ‘Natchez’ can be grown to its natural, shade-tree size, or kept smaller and tidier with an annual late-winter prune. This makes it a flexible choice — from suburban gardens to design-forward courtyards.

Mature height (unpruned): approx. 8–10 m
Mature width (unpruned): approx. 6–8 m
Common pruned height: approx. 3–5 m (with regular shaping)
Pruning window: late winter to early spring (before new growth)

Tip: Aim for light shaping and canopy lift rather than hard “topping”. Thoughtful pruning improves structure, airflow, and flowering without stressing the tree.

Planting & care

Sun: Full sun for best flowering
Water: Regular watering while establishing; drought tolerant once established
Soil: Adaptable; improves with well-draining soil and organic matter
Feeding: A balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring supports strong flowering

Compare: ‘Natchez’ vs ‘Acoma’ (the other popular white)

Feature	‘Natchez’	‘Acoma’
Flower colour	Pure white	White
Growth habit	Upright / architectural	Weeping / cascading
Typical landscape use	Shade tree, feature tree, avenues	Feature accent, softer garden styling
Scale	Larger presence	More compact and ornamental
Best “look”	Clean, modern, structured	Romantic, flowing, garden-feature

Quick pick: Choose ‘Natchez’ for a clean statement tree with canopy and shade. Choose ‘Acoma’ for a softer, cascading silhouette in smaller feature spots.

This is the first time I purchased from TAPS and I was so happy with the quality of the plants. It made a beautiful gift for my mum who has been searching for a cardamom plant for so long. I will definitely purchase from them again

Ginkgo biloba

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!
