8-shape modeling method for lagerstroemia indica tree

Abstract

The invention discloses a 8-shaped crape myrtle tree shaping method. The method comprises selecting biennial crape myrtle seedlings for shaping; when branches of the seedlings grow to be more than 1 meter long, expanding the neighboring branches of every seedling from the position three inches above the root in opposite directions through external force to bend and cross to form an 8 shape; fixedly binding the bent connection of the branches to wood pieces or bamboo bars adjacent to the branches and repeating the operation above for a plurality of times to form a plurality of the 8 shapes; removing buds at the lateral top of every bent portion except one main bud; when the main bud grows to a certain length, cutting off the bud head to for lateral buds; until all the lateral buds come into leaves, cutting off the top of every lateral bud. A crape myrtle tree in the 8 shaped is attractive in appearance and good in light illumination and meanwhile facilitates inflorescence growth and tree shape cultivation with large quantity of inflorescence and large flowers; the shaping method is easy to operate; flower balls can be evenly distributed at the top and on both side of the crape myrtle tree, so that the viewing value of the crape myrtle tree can be greatly improved.
