I  haven’t noticed the pictures that David is talking about, but I would
have  thought that the Indian Crepe Myrtle ( we now call it largstroemia)
would  be a better pick, for it can stand some cold. It does turn red and
yellow  in autumn, but not as spectacularly as some of your American  fall
trees.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
There appear to be a large number of crape myrtle species and
cultivars, come of which are truly tropical and others able to
withstand more temperate climates, though not so severe as the
USA Northeast.
