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.

Prune during the dormant season (Jan/Feb in the US) before new growth
has begun. However, flowers form on *all* new growth, so pruning
really isn't necessary except to shape the tree/shrub or to remove
crossing interior branches which are rubbing.
