I can’t believe that it has been 5 years since the dwarf crape myrtle branches were grafted onto this wonderful crape myrtle trunk.  However the development continues to improve. It has a great shape and balance.  This year it should be the year for this tree to shine.  In on a few weeks the tree will begin to leaf out and the canopy should be very full and complete.   Who knows how much better this tree will be in 5 more years?

I took advantage of the cold weather to repot this pine.  I didn’t really remove much of the root mass, but it is a much more expensive pot.  I still have a lot of branch development to do on this tree, but it already has developed very well already.  Next year we’ll try a smaller pot to show off this large base of this tree.
