IS THIS A TREE OR A BUSH


I saw this at my local SAM’S club in Florida and was like this would be perfect for my front yard since I have no shade and would like to plant. Please help identify for me.

    Crepe Myrtle.

    Edit to add: Considered a shrub but can be trimmed and grown to “tree” size/shape.

    Crepe myrtle. They’re absolutely everywhere, at least in the south. I wouldn’t necessarily call them shade trees though. 

    If you get one, by God, don’t commit Crepe Murder.

    Yes. Yes it is. Crepe Myrtle will comply with your wishes, but it requires constant correction. They’re quite spirited.
