Bending method of Lagerstroemia indica trunk

The trunk bending method of Lagerstroemia indica:

1. When the branches of Lagerstroemia indica grow to more than 1 m, start from 3 inches above the root, stretch them in the opposite direction from the middle of the adjacent branches with external force, and then bend and cross into a figure of eight.

2. At the bending joint of Lagerstroemia indica branches, the wooden strips or bamboo poles inserted near the branches are fastened and fixed with ropes or iron wires, and repeated for many times to form a plurality of figures of eight.

3. Leave a main bud at the top of the curved part of Lagerstroemia indica trunk and erase the rest. When the main bud grows to the specified length, cut off the bud head to make it grow lateral buds.

4. When all the lateral buds grow two leaves, cut off the top of the lateral buds to complete the bending of the trunk of Lagerstroemia indica.
