Voting Booth: Reveal your garden sins. You know better, but.... , 1 by vossner

Nothing to do with gardening sins but I had to share. Don't know if all varieties do this, but in my area, I've noticed several crape myrtles with multiple trunks which seem to fuse and become one trunk over time. I find it interesting and wonder how old do they have to be before the fusing begins. I once saw one tree that had fused about 3 ft from the ground. It had to be really old. The one in this pic has fused about 8" from the ground.

PS: I wished sometimes I could just stop in the middle of traffic and photograph whatever gardening quirk catches my attention. Def. not doable in Houston traffic. I was lucky to catch this fusing phenomena during a red light.
