why crape myrtle is not flowering

Question

last year our 6′ crape myrtle produced lots of flowers. I cut off all the dried bloom pods in the fall. This year the only blooms are from the ends of new branches.

Answer 1

Trimming the trees in fall can often diminish blooms the following year. Additional reasons for your crepe myrtle not blooming can be found here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/crepe-myrtle/crepe-myrtle-not-blooming.htm
