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.
February to March. Late winter or early spring, after the last frost, is usually the time to do any major pruning of crape myrtles. The plants are dormant in the winter, and flowers will only appear on new growth, so pruning in February or March encourages the plant to grow new, flower-producing branches.
