I picked up this Crape Myrtle (Razzle Dazzle) yesterday at a steep discount. Loved the base, but hard to tell how the tree performed this season and if it's healthy. Thought it was nice enough to take a gamble. Spent a good part of the day yesterday removing moss and cleaning lichen off the entire tree.
It had a ton of exposed roots and I just threw some bonsai soil on top to cover it up a bit more.
I never worked with this species and need to read up. Plan is to repot into a grow box with better soil in the spring and reduce the size of the canopy. I'll get this guy into the mulch pile shortly and possibly give it some additional winter protection.
