Prune Like a Pro: Crepe Myrtle


Featuring: Marsha Lehman

When: available now
Where: online video

One of the most popular – and most mistreated landscape plants is the Crape Myrtle.  We finally found a 4-year old specimen that had not yet been pruned!  This video shows how to give a good first pruning to a young crape myrtle that is now well-established.  Pruning is done while the tree/shrub is dormant.

Realize that once properly shaped, it needs only minimal annual maintenance.
