Sarusuberi (Lagerstroemia indica) blooms their flowers during the summer time.
Especially in Japan, their flowers remind me that summer has come.

Not only red flowers, cultivations have pink, purple and white flowers.
Bark is very smooth and this is the another significant character of Sarusuberi.

*Sarusuberi means, this tree is slippery even for the monkeys!
