Mississippi State Horticulture Camp. We sponsored Jarrett Taylor that year. It’s been several years since we have sponsored anyone. Just a little throw back to the old days!

Put down the chainsaw and pick up the hand-held loppers! Crape myrtles are popular for their low-maintenance beauty, but they can benefit from some light pruning this time of year.

❌When severe and senseless pruning takes place it produces flushes of weak shoots barely able to hold the summer flower clusters. The severe pruning can also delay flower development.

Here's the correct way to prune a crape myrtle:
✅You need sharp pruning tools whose use depends on the diameter of the branches and limbs. Use bypass pruners to easily cut back branches up to 3/4 inch in diameter. For branches up to 1 3/4 inches in diameter, use a robust set of loppers. Use a pruning saw on any branches larger than that.

✅The best-looking crape myrtles are multi-trunked and well-structured. Maintaining an odd number of trunks, such as three or five, looks great and preserves enough space for the tree to produce strong growth.

✅Remove any unwanted trunks. Cut them as close to the ground as you can. Then choose the height where you want the branching to start and remove lower branches back to the main trunk.

✅Remove any branches that are growing into the center of the tree canopy and any that are crossing or rubbing against each other. This creates space and opens the canopy, reducing the chance of diseases.

✅Cut off seed heads to encourage more growth in the spring.

✅Finish with the removal of small, thin branches. Use your index finger as a size guide to determine which ones to remove. It’s common for crape myrtles of any age or size to have suckers sprout up around the base. Use your hand pruners and cut these off without leaving a stub.

🌳Crape myrtles come in a variety of sizes. Decide what color you want, and then find a variety that grows to the correct height for your space. You can plant crape myrtles any time of year, but early spring is ideal.

We have two pallets of zoysia if anyone needs some. Left over from a job and need it off the trailor. Will let it go at cost. We can lay it also for a labor fee.
