I have done my research & determined the 3 that I have are indeed Tuscarora.
I did eliminate everything else. The Carolina Beauty is an upright rounded with smooth bark & these certainly have exfoliating bark.
Watermelon red is out b/c of the size it has already attained if nothing else put it out of the running.
It doesn't fit Tuskegee either. The color & shape is not right.
Tuscarora is the right bark color & exfoliation, growth height, growth shape & color, blooms at the same time these bloom, & is highly mildew resistant.
Off to the db now!
Thanks everyone!
