New Crepe Myrtle

Post by [ Kane ] »

Hi Everyone.

My first Crepe Myrtle.
I'm looking for suggestions & ideas. How nice is that trunk! I think this has been in this pot for sometime... should I repot into new soil or wait until Winter/Spring?

Styling advise also welcome.

Wait to repot. These are deciduios so Winter/Spring is the go. Just as the buds start to thicken
Cheers

look for the smallest tree according to the trunk thickness--- or grow pot for faster thickening for a couple of seasons for a larger tree
