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.
Crape Myrtle. The crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) is a summer-blooming deciduous tree that grows in USDA zones 7 through 9. Crape myrtles have several flower colors, with cultivars such as Catawba and Purple Tower having purple blooms. The trees grow up to 30 feet tall with a domed canopy. Plant crape myrtles in full sun.
