HGIC 1009 Crape Myrtle Pruning
: Extension : Clemson University : South Carolina

I am trimming the interior branches of my c. myrtle trying to do it the way this article suggests (took me longer than expected to take a picture).

Compared to the instructions you attached and the video in the original post, your crape myrtle could use a fair amount of pruning to open it up.
