CM's are notoriously late to leaf out in our area... anytime in early spring
will be fine.

Hi ... I just moved into a townhouse and the previous owners planted a
crepe
myrtle right next to the front door. I want to move it before it gets too
big and too old (the townhouse itself is only 2 1/2 years old so the plant
can't me very old). I'm in the Washington DC area so can anyone tell me
the
best time to transplant it? Is now okay? Should I wait until the spring?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
