Black leaves of Lagerstroemia microphylla

Small evergreen arbor with opposite leaves, slightly pilose branchlets, oval leaves and thin leathery leaves, which are very similar to Ligustrum lucidum and Fraxinus parviflora, but have stronger germination ability, faster growth and more exuberance. Its new buds and young leaves are purple, and it feels bright and dazzling against the old leaves. If pruned several times, the new branches will be dense, and the whole crown will be purple, which will be more beautiful and moving among the green plants. After winter, the whole plant is purple-black, which is more conspicuous among all things.
