In the Fall of 2013 our pleaching project started to take shape. Three crape myrtles were previously planted to create a natural arbor for our Shade Garden. We were ready to start forming our 'hedge in the sky'. Pleaching (learn about it here:
PLEACHING) is the process of tying or weaving limber branches together so they may eventually fuse together. It requires maintenance pruning to keep the growth in check. This Fall the three trees received a good lopping. Come Spring, we are hoping for some decent shade when the trees leaf out.
