In one year the new growth extends 3-4 feet so heavy pruning is a must to keep it shaped and in check so other plants are not completely shaded. So ideally the tree needs a lot of space to grow with no undergrowth. This rampant growth means you have a large selection of branches to prune and you can shape the tree into fantastic shapes. It was just an accident that ours was pruned in this zigzag shape.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-12796928160669738062007-02-07T18:23:00.000-08:002007-02-07T18:23:00.000-08:00This is a new plant for me, Ki - just came back af...This is a new plant for me, Ki - just came back after looking it up, and it sounds very interesting, with one site calling it 'the crape myrtle of the north'. The pruning gives it a different look from the green ball-shapes in the other webpages! <br /><br />Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.com
