Crepe Myrtle Styling Help

round them cuts off unless you plan to put you a a mud man (Pink Floyd), or as a mud man holding the saw. I could be a mud man. I can do a front flip onto a bed backwards leg of your stand takeout order.

Yes def let them grow for sometime. With as thick a trunk as you have, if you don’t let the branches thicken the overal image won’t be proportionally balanced. However, crapes are not like elms. If you don’t wire for direction on crapes young, they become very difficult to wire later and you may never get the branches as horizontal as you like.

Anchor from the main trunk. But go slow and be deliberate. Nothing worse than hurting your tree from crappy wiring. Found this image online.

I can’t stress enough how easy it is to break branches on crapes free from the trunk. If in doubt stop bending. Go slow.

luckily their not as brittle as a boxwood. could always wire them down but to where..? root smasher

Channeling Sorce perhaps?

Crepes grow SUPER fast. You could get a leader 2/3 the thickness of the base in 3 years easily. next year when its established roots it will grow like a bush in your lil pot.
