Crepe myrtle, should I buy?

[SeanS]

Found a CM at a local nursery that has a decent size base for the size. Around 1.5" at the soil line. Has some decent shape that I can chop down to and start building from.

The roots need some work.

Should I buy it?

Pass

I don't understand why people post these things without saying what the price actually is.

If this tree was 5 cents, I'd buy it. If it was more than $20, I would not.

That. But also consider the location. Are these rare? Common?
Here this species is rare so I would more likely to be tempted than when in a place where they are common backyard shrubs

Very good point. I have no idea how common they are in South Africa so it may be something to jump on. Here they are as common as dirt.

I’d pass if it was free, because it’s not worth the time required to make something special from it.
