Other than the pot that’s not great. What would you do to this little ‘Pokomoke’ Crape Myrtle? Pretty amazing how fast they grow and I can tell it’ll develop quickly if I set forth a good plan. Was thinking about a grow pot to really let it go more, but it’s definitely a size I’m happy with.

Tough to say. Those lower branches are pretty thick compared to the trunk. Using the 2nd pic as the front, I might be inclinded to hack off everything but the 1st branch and use that as a trunk line.

I recently bought a pokemoke and I'm quite delighted with it. It won't be my last one. We'll actually be close to the nursery in FL I bought it from while on vacation. I'm hoping another one will be coming home with me.
