This is lovely. Great movement and bark. And the roots aren't bad.
It is possible to get these to flower within the design. At least I was able to once by repeatedly cutting back the budding, and then cutting back the final raceme to shorten it to scale. More or less as others have described here. Very unfortunately this tree didn't survive the next winter. I may have exhausted it. So that may be something to be careful of. At least I got a decent pic. Good luck w yours ... I love crape myrtle bonsai.
