Crape myrtle tree

Question

I have a crape myrtle tree about 10 to 15 feet tall. When does it bloom, and should I trim it down to about 8 feet sometime in the year, because I see some people do it but theirs are not so tall.

Answer 1

These trees normally begin blooming towards the end of spring/beginning of summer. For more information on pruning crepe myrtles, this article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/crepe-myrtle/best-crepe-myrtle-pruning-time-when-to-prune-crepe-myrtle.htm
