I'm surprised your crepe myrtles die to the ground. Mine used to, 15yrs ago. But now I've got several 12ft tall or so. So if you haven't tried them lately, global warming has introduced them to my yard; maybe for you, too?

I was looking for a picture, but only have a picture of the trunk of one. (I love the mottled trunk of crepe myrtle). You can see it is about 4inches in diameter, so it's a pretty substantial plant. You can also see one of my attempts at keeping the deer from rubbing the bark of my trees. Don't copy this method; doesn't work...
