The Right Way to Prune Crape Myrtle. Late winter (February-March) is the best time to prune crape myrtles in eastern North Carolina. Like all trees, the correct way to prune a crape myrtle involves enhancing its natural form rather than trying to force it to grow in a space that is too small or an artificial shape.
Avoid planting crape myrtles in overly wet locations and avoid getting moisture into the branches and leaves, which creates habitats for insects to thrive. Try to plant varieties that are resistant to diseases, such as powdery mildew, and insects.
