Large Crepe Myrtle

[PWC]

Repotted this week, fingers crossed it buds out.

Why the concern? It has been ok in previous years, has something changed over recent times to give you reason to think it may not?

I worry every year after repotting it. I guess I'm just one of those people who doesn't trust themselves yet.

That's ok then, I decided to try Crepe Myrtle after seeing yours a couple of years ago and recently root pruned mine. So you put a scare in me, I did the same last year and it survived it does again this year.

It's one of the last of my deciduous to bud, so it keeps me on my toes.

Good luck with yours. The other CM I posted tonight has had a "shibui-style" root pruning, so that one is the one I really should be worried about!

Great progression . That new trunk line is developing really well . Once it matches that great base . And going on how quick it’s developing that won’t be long .

[Watto]

Yep, going really well. I like the movement, love movement in trees and this has it.

Thanks Sno and Watto. Only ten more years, eh? It is coming along well though, ta.
