I'd like to get some opinions on this crape myrtle yamadori. I bought it from a nursery as potensai about 12 years ago, and decided to collect it yesterday. I don't remember the variety, but I do remember purchasing it because the trunk color and mottling was reportedly excellent and the leaf size was on the small side for the species.
I am wondering if the chop looks good or maybe I should cut it back more for it to heal correctly? I tried to leave a bit of length on the main trunk so the tree has some stored energy to help survive the transplant, but probably could have left more. So does this have good potential? And if so, did I execute the trunk chop well?
