In trying to avoid comitting Crape murder (butchering Crape Myrtles by pruning too heavily) I now have plants where the most flowers are 15 to 20 feet off the ground. Except for some rare branches that hang down, like this one, you really can't see the flowers unless you walk along with your head cocked back at a 45º angle. Does anyone have some pruning suggestions for Crapes?
Thanks
