I'm starting a new thread.
@Pirl's beautiful pollarded (my new Word of the Day) Crape Myrtle prompted me to consider trimming up our own leggy Crape Myrtle tree. Maybe not a true pollard, as that would constitute Crape Murder. But removing branches much larger than the recommended pencil-size. I had this tree professionally pruned last Spring. The same Tree Company removed 4 other trees that were too close to the house. They left this one saying it had a chance to ge a pretty tree being on the corner and the sun it receives. The pruning did not improve its shape, however. What do you think? ?
