Crape Myrtle
Behind House
These were "babies" of the tall Crape Myrtle in the back yard.
True to their roots (so to speak), they also shot up tall quickly. In a few years, they were up to the roof.
The sprinkler system hit them the first few years, but then we turned off that sprinkler and they have done well with no watering.
They only get a little morning sun in this location.

These are right outside our bedroom windows, from where
we got to watch a mother cardinal tending this nest in the
Crape Myrtle limbs:
