    Crepe myrtle. Non native

    Crap myrtle

    This is the pruning style know as crepe murder, a type of pollarding. They only flower on new growth

    Looks like crepe myrtle to me. I could say for sure if I could see the leaves

    looks like Crape Murder! some very unskilled pruning of Crape Myrtle- Lagerstoemia indica or other

    I know this is done regularly in the south however there are certainly kinder and more aesthetically pleasing ways to manage these trees

    Crepe myrtle, saw a lot of these when in Dothan a few years ago!

    Good god that’s a pretty sorry case right there. They can be so nice if you just let them be single stemmed trees
