Hi Folks,

This is growing in one of my side beds next to the house. If it's a cool enough plant I may salvage it and move it somewhere else.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Unknown tree/shrub in yard.  Red fall color

At first glance it looks like a Crapemrytle(Lagerstroemia).

Whoa! That's kind of what I was thinking, but I think when i googled it the leaves looked alternate on the one picture I found. The fall color looks pretty good. Any idea if they come true from their parent plants if they are cultivars? My neighbors have a few and they are pink, and my other neighbor has some, but they are a brighter red. I'll take another pic so everyone is sure.
