Crepe Mrtyles
When is the best time to prune these back?
I have 3 which are in the dormant stage right now and will soon be budding out. Cindy Zone 6-7 |
Cindy these are usually very late to bud out, so anytime after last frost
and before they leaf out is fine. Please don't decapitate them (Crape Murder). -- David J.

Our neighbor murders his, and we do not trim ours. Ours come out a bit
earlier and bloom just as much if not more as the murdered ones do. Jackie, zone 7 "David J Bockman" wrote in message news:OJB2e.28700$b_6.24031@trnddc01...
