Hello all,
A while back I posted about my collection of a Crape Myrtle that I collected from my yard. I’ve attached a picture of the 4 crapes that came from the larger tree. All 4 have roots and are wired into their boxes in a well draining mix. 2 of them seem to be doing well and the buds are slowly moving up their trunks (you can only see the suckers in the pic) but those two are pushing buds out higher and higher in the trunks. I’m not too worried about them as they are growing like crazy. However, I am a wondering if there is any hope for the other two to start pushing. Cambium is still green, but they are leafless stumps right now. What is the probability that they are just late to push and need to recoup some energy before pushing buds. It’s been about a month since collection. I’m surprised they all aren’t taking off, being crape myrtles (hard to kill lol) but alas, here we are.
Is budding from these still bare pieces possible/normal for newly collected material. I live in North Texas, Zone 8a and temps have been crazy (about 2 weeks of temps above 100 and high humidity) They have been slightly shaded but still get some good direct sun during parts of the day.
Is there still hope for these two without leaves?
