Crepe Myrtle

Question

Last year was the first time I planted crepe myrtles. This year each tree has the pods that are black in color. Do I remove these or will the tree take care of itself? It is where a new bloom would appear from and nothing was removed from the trees last year. Thanks.

Answer 1

You can remove these if you want or leave them. Either way is fine and will not cause any issues with the tree.
