Do I Prune My Crape Myrtle and When

Msforte added on November 19, 2016 | Answered

I live in Long Island and my crape myrtle is very tall. I would like to prune it. When do I do this and how do I do it? I don't know how much to cut off and where on the tree. It is now November and all the leaves are gone.
