I don't think that pruning has any effect on blooming at all! Yours are
just young.

Prune to the tree you want, i.e. cut out whole branches until you have a
single stem, or a multi stem tree, or just leave it alone. Crape myrtles
are just about foolproof!

BTW, don't even think about shaping it by "shearing" or topping. That
indeed will affect blooming--adversely.

I was just wondering when to puine my crepes. This is the first time they
have bloomed since being planted last year and I want to get more profuse
blooms next year.

TIA
