Coming back

Our crape myrtle in the backyard was radically cut back in December, which was shocking to see, causing me to wonder if it would come back. Obviously it is, and should look like a real tree again soon.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

don't think too fast now it's over, you have just given him the strength to develop a beautiful new growth pattern a rejuvenation is always good for such plants, unfortunately they cannot do that with us. BV
