Crape myrtle tree

Question

When and what should I feed my crape myrtle tree?

Answer 1

Begin fertilizing in Spring with the fertilizer of your choice (liquid, slow release or granules), when the first leaves start to appear. Established, well rooted, Crape Myrtles are heavy feeders. Lightly fertilize every two weeks throughout the spring and summer months. This will promote optimal new growth. Remember, Crape Myrtles only bloom on new growth.
Use a balanced 10-10-10 or slow release fertilizer.
