Bonsaing a crape myrtle

[Boothbay]

I would like to bonsai my c.m. which is in a 6" pot. How does one go about it? I eventually would have to bring it indoors as the weather cools. Would that harm it?

bonsai is an art unto itself. true bonsai are kept outdoors, in cold frames if necessary, to allow seasonal changes. that doesn't mean you can't just have a potted tree, but if you want to do it the "right" way, google "bonsai" and read one of the many sites geared to this hobby.
