  • You don't need to do this. If properly pruned, crape myrtles will form a canopy over the sidewalk that doesn't interfere with pedestrians and actually provides shade; if topped like the picture, they will form an unruly mass of growth right at head height.

  • I agree, looks like a mulberry. Leaves on small trees and new branches are particularly likely to be lobed in mulberry, while older branches tend to produce leaves without lobes.

  • Most of my garden is devoted to native/natural gardens. My challenge is always figuring out how to have clean aesthetics and a welcoming, usable outdoor space while also creating authentic-looking, functional plant communities. One book that has changed how I think about this is Planting in a Post-Wild World by Rainer and West.

  • My thought would be to get flat PVC end caps. These could be attached to the wood with screws, and the pipe attached to the caps with PVC cement.
