Crepe myrtles can be a bush or a tree all depending on how they are pruned. It appears that whoever pruned it last did so with the intention of having a bush. You can continue that shape or you can prune as many of the stems to ground level as you wish leaving as many or as few stems to be a main trunk. The choice is yours...the plant tolerates pruning well.How should we prune these crêpe myrtles? Thank you for any advice!
No, they do bloom better with pruning but not required for the plant necessarily. It's dealers' choice with the Myrtle.Thank you so much for your response. Do they even have to be pruned?
