Please do NOT trim or cut back your crape myrtles now, they are just budding up and getting ready to bloom. If you trim now you will lose any bloom forming. Wait until the fall, the leaves will be off the tree and you can get a good idea of how you would like your tree to look and trim appropriately. I have three, one is tulip shaped and grows straight up, one is a natural bushy shape and my favorite is a gorgeous spreading umbrella shaped Nachez, pure white.
