Moderate trimming gives Crepe Myrtles beautiful form.

If so, is it too late?


I don't think so, but hurry before they start leafing out.

How much to trim?


Trim only to enhance the trunk structure. Cut off small branches growing
inwards and those crossing each other. You can cut a bit off the tips to
stimulate new growth.
