Lagerstroemia Crepe Myrtle
I actually pinched this off a blind woman while she wasn't looking {my mum} , she could not see too plant it correctly hence the bent trunk . While her garden is quite a managable ,i do spend some time over there weeding and helpful tasks , pruning and removing unwanted plants /trainers .I actually scored 3 Myrtles in winter , but i don't know the colours as yet . I have set some air layers to remove the unwanted upper sections rather than butchering them off , then i will make a decision where to head with the trunk
The shade cloth is to prevent the mix from falling out during rotation .Cheers AlpineartYou do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Hi Beaumatsu , no she didn't give this one to me , i had to remove them because the planting angle was all wrong . I replaced them with some cuttings planted at the correct angle . When your pushing 90 not out and can't see , the gardening becomes hit and miss . My old mum won't miss this one .Cheers Alpine
