A staple of Landscaping in Georgia is the Crape Myrtle, this tree flowers in the summer and has a unique exterior (bark). This plant can be used either as tree form or shrub form. At St Ives we have the Crape's mainly as tree form, which requires pruning to keep the proper shape. Pruning back crapemyrtles in late winter promotes lush new growth in the spring. Flowers are produced on current season's growth so flowers develop even after such severe pruning. Now is the time to prune back your Crape's if you have them in your landscape.
