Very interesting photos VibuurnumValley. Our Crape Myrtle is a Hopi.

Guess I will prune the branches off the bottom third of the plant, though I'm a little nervous about taking off so much. I would be heartbroken if the CM ended up dying.

This garden was established as a remembrance of my Mother who passed away Spring 2012. The cement birdbath in the garden was in her backyard for probably 40 years. Prior to that it was in my paternal Grandmother's yard for who knows how long.

The photo below shows the size of the CM when we planted it in the Spring of 2012. It's grown a little since then. : )
