on sale This is a special subspecie of Crape Myrtle that is not only showy and beautiful but that also works wonderfully for doll house landscaping. The Tonto Crape is not a tall tree so will work well with 1:12 scale without taking up excessive space. Better yet, it blooms ALL SUMER
I've seem pictures of it with and without leaves among the blossoms, so am guessing that the blooms come out first and the leaves insert themselves later.
Tontos flower abundantly and are used not only as a stand alone tree, but also in profusion in large scale gardens, as a privacy hedge and as a container plant.
This one is 6 inches tall, but it can be made in other heights.
The blooms are a red-fuchsia color and I make them of little plastic flowers. On this tree the green foliage is preserved sesame bloom. However, sesame bloom is no longer on the market due to lack of farm workers and drought conditions in California so sometime in the future the leaves will be man made also.
