Thanks y'all.

Dorothy, I'd love to see it. I'm glad you're working with one. I think crape myrtles are the real sleepers of American deciduous bonsai. Easy, fast growing, and beautiful - what more could you ask for? And flowers too!

I agree Russell. I usually find nursery stocks that have killer nebari and trunk as well and since they respond well to chopping (both roots and trunk/branches) they should be good bonsai candidates. I have to admit, I don't own one yet but that can be easily remedied. Wink

Beautiful tree, I like it just as it is.
