Masterpiece
Both these two crape myrtles this spring. An Acoma CM and a Natchez CM. Worked the roots hard and chopped hard. All summer I let the shoots run until they were about to flower then cut back. Just defoliated the Acoma and cut back. I’ll wire for a bit more movement as well. The Natchez still needs to turn a bit more before I defoliate. I’m happy with the progress so far. Both are aways out still as the wounds still need major healing, branches need much developing and nebari is a work in progress.
