Crape Myrtle trees, in many varieties, overlook an abundance of southern landscapes.

Southern gardeners love their Crape Myrtles for summer bloom, attractive, peeling bark and limited crepe myrtle care.

Crape Myrtle trees should be planted in a sunny location.

Soil need not be rich or amended; crepe myrtle trees are adaptable to most soils except those that are soggy.

Sunlight and well-draining soil afford a wealth of summer blooms and help keep pests away.

The difficulty most often arises when caring for Crape Myrtles.

Crape Myrtle trees are sometimes susceptible to sooty mold and powdery mildew, but these are easily cured with an organic spray.

The most daunting and incorrectly practiced aspect of Crape Myrtle care is pruning.

Crape murder usually occurs when an overly enthusiastic homeowner severely cuts back top branches on Crape Myrtle trees, ruining the natural shape and form of the lovely landscape specimen.

Caring for Crape Myrtle should include limited pruning and little removal of growing branches.

Too much pruning from the top sends suckers shooting from the bottom of the tree or the roots, resulting in additional pruning and unnecessary crepe myrtle care.

It can also result in an unattractive winter form.

Limit Crape Myrtle care, especially pruning, to thinning when needed.
