While having our front yard tree uplifted, the gardener mentioned that our crepe myrtles were too close to the house. I admitted that they are not as pretty as I wanted them to be though I have tried hard doing everything I could. And he told me because of their location, they will never be as pretty as I want and I let him cut down all but one on the corner. I think it opens up the viewing of the house better and I will get more sunlight in places that need it. AND I have places to put my plumeria trees! I will bury the pots at first. But maybe if I get brave and think the winter won't hurt them, I might put them into the ground where the crepe myrtle used to be, between the hedges. They will get lots and lots of sunlight most of the day in that location.

Do you get snow or frost where you are? If yes, I think I will keep them in pots or plant and dig them up winter time.
