I've had this Crape Myrtle for 4-5 months now. Just letting it grow for this year, it's called Purple Cow ...I think it is a dwarf variety, but the leaves are normal size. I've seen other dwarfs that have smaller leaves, and look different.
Anyway, here are a few pics.
I like the sub trunks, they remind me of large Japanese Maples that I see in some old yards around here.
I know it's a little slingshotty, especially in pics, but in person it not too bad, I swear.
I will cut it down big time in late winter and get it out of the nursery soil next spring. Since I won't be looking for blooms on it, I think I will be able to develop some good branching fast on this tree. It grows very fast.
You can see the 2 wounds in the 3rd pic, I cut those branches off the day I bought it, the top one is already completely rolled over, the lower one is about half healed.
Comments always welcome.
