Crepe Myrtle -- that's the one tree I approve of hat racking. But you know, personal preference and all that. I was so sad when a customer commanded hat racking of an ornamental magnolia, just so you could see the house better from the road. Wrong species for that!

But why?? I've heard that crepe myrtles get butchered a lot around the country. Out here, thyey're not native or commonly planted, so most have been left natural. They are beautiful and well structured.. which would be destroyed if they were topped.
 
"Shape and contain" being the operative words. They looked nice around Charlotte, NC with obvious pruning work done. Some care & effort put into the pruning process by the city arbs, to be sure.
