Default Re: Pruning Crape Myrtles

Murdering also known as pollarding may be what you need to do once to get your branches down to a level you want them at. Just don't cut/prune them at the same spot every year. It ruins the natural beauty of the tree.

Yeah but then you'd miss the opinions of the ones that have lived it. I will google/yahoo but most times I'll still post to get others opinions. You can't get friendship an anecdotal tales on Google!

AS ALWAYS IMHO AND YOUR MILEAGE MAY DIFFER!!!!!!!!

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
