That looks like a Pink Lagerstroemia, also known as Pride of India or Crepe Myrtle
Looks like a Crepe Myrtle bush/tree.
Crepe Myrtle
Crepe Myrtle. Love them! Where I live they use them in many public spaces. Once established, drought tolerant, low maintenance and virtually pest free. Easy to grow and does not have an invasive root system. I planted one in my front yard.
Crepe Myrtle
Crepe Myrtle.. but it shouldn't be growing in NY. It's not supposed to be that cold hardy.
Hi Franz, it's a crepe myrtle. There are some that are trees, some varieties that are bushes. They've been cultivated to have a short version and the regular tree size that can grow to about 25-30 feet. For the trees, in summer they shed their bark showcasing some of the most beautiful bark. If the trees are cut right they can be quite beautiful. They're easy to grow, but here on the gulf coast can be prone to aphids, spider mites and scale.
Consensus Agrees . . . Crepe Myrtle. A beautiful one from the pics. Pls do not commit "Crepe Murder" as they do in the south/south eastern areas. Chopping them off entirely is brutal. Pruning properly is one thing, butchering is not nice.
I'll bet she was! My white one (Natchez) is now 25 ft. tall. What would she think of that? ;-)
Hi Franz!

Crepe Myrtle! They have beautiful colored leaves in the fall. However they drop them in abundance.
Crepe Myrtle. Can be trimmed severely in the fall
