Default [IBC] summer dig opportunity

Along the same lines of this original post... Friends like to give me
half-dead or near-rootless trees that they've dug up in thier yards in an
attempt to "bonsai" them, as they put it. My latest is a Crape Myrtle.
It's about 2.5' tall, but has been pruned, albeit carelessly, and is
therefore pretty stout (about 1.5" trunk). 5 fat roots, each about 1/4"
thick and about 6 inches long, and a small handfull of oddly spaced feeder
roots.

Anybody have experience with crape myrtles?

Thanks everyone,

Justin
