Finally a Crape Myrtle to call my own🌱

[AaronThomas]

Jumping on the Crape train!
This one mysteriously popped up on my bench yesterday...... woot! My wife is the best!
Think she felt bad she wouldn’t let me layer a branch from her tree.... and all the suckers I dug up went crispy.
It’s small but has potential... haven’t decide what to do with it yet! Put in ground or just leave in training pot?
Thoughts?

Nice tree! Wives are the best! You know what they say....training pot is good....ground is better (I am saying it anyway ) Nice when the fam. Supports your endeavors. I am sure it is mutual.

In ground may not be best. Sends suckers way out from tree. Hard to get rid of and it does this quickly. I am still finding suckers 7 years and 3" of concrete. Try using grow bags (air pruning) you can avoid above. I have found success with this method. Hope this helps.

Agree!!!
Ground may be where it’s headed....

I’m okay with suckers.... lots of room for more trees.
