Huh?

Literati style acceptable for crape myrtle?

I have a crape myrtle that has stumped me since I got it as an attractively gnarled plant from the nursery. I've mostly just pruned it back and allowed it to stay the same as it was.
I...think.... I can see an interesting literati tree in it.

What do you think and I haven't found anything on when to prune entire limbs off of a crape?

Any suggestions?

I've jinked the image levels to try to increase visibility.

If nothing else it'll look great in winter. __________________ "Although profoundly "inconsequential," the Zen experience has consequences in the sense that it may be applied in any direction, to any conceivable human activity, and that wherever it is so applied it lends an unmistakable quality to the work." ~ Alan Watts (1915-1973)
