So I thought I would post a couple pics of my crepe myrtle. These pics were taken yesterday after it's first trim this season. I wanted to cut off a bit more off the top, but it looks like it might flower this year, so I decided to let what looks like flower buds stay on.

I like it! I usually don't like these kind of bends that makes the tree look like it has a "stomach", but this tree gives me a good feeling looking at it

This guy has had issues outgrowing it's pot the last few years, so I put it in this training pot this year. with the hopes of reducing the rootball over the next few years.
summer prune before and after here.

So I finally got this guy in a pot again.. a bit thicker than the old one, but it went in without big issues. I'm not so happy about the color, but I like the form of this pot.
