Narrative
Full name as recorded at the U.S. National Arboretum: Lagerstroemia x egolfii 'Natchez'. Bonsai. In training since 2013 (or longer). Style: informal upright; styled by Bjorn Bjornholm during a visit to USNA in March 2024. Height at receipt: approximately 3 feet (measured from surface roots to top of tree). Grown in a contemporary Chinese oval container. Edited notes about the tree from the curator at the time of accessioning: This bonsai was field grown by Clif Pottberg of the nursery "Bonsai at Pasiminan" in Florida. According to Brussel Martin it had been field grown for 50 years when he purchased and dug a lot of 25 crapemyrtles. Brussel has grown the tree in a pot for 10 years, it was purchased from Clif in 2013. Brussel’s manager, who was involved in digging the trees, recalled the nursery said they were either ‘Natchez’ or ‘Muskogee’. According to Dr. Richard Olsen, the trees do not look like 'Natchez'; the specimen would need to be seen in flower to determine if fits 'Muskogee'.
