How to care for crepe myrtle. How and when to prune crepe myrtle.

I have no idea if you are still around but someone else may also want an answer.

Do, not, ever, ever "top" prune a crape myrtle. It will lose it's natural beauty and shape. If it is too large for the space, and you live in the Deep South, move it between November and February. Buy a dwarf crape myrtle to plant in your now empty space at the same time.

Here is wonderful information:
