How to Make Your Crape Myrtle Bloom All Summer Long | Summer Crape Myrtle Care

Boys oh boy I'm glad I found you tons of information. 🎉❤❤❤❤ty ty.happy blooms

What can you do if the crape myrtle has never blossomed?

Mine haven’t bloomed in 2 years

Speaking of fire ants I heard they are attracted to these trees

My tree has something that looks like moss on the trunk and is not growing since the landscaper severely pruned it during the winter. What can I do to help the tree grow . The nursery recommended to spray liquid copper fungicide. Is that ok to do in this situation?

Thanks for the great video. I have very tall crape Myrtles. Probably almost 30 feet tall. I barely get any flowers on the top. Since I can’t reach those seed pods, how can I encourage more flowers?

Your very knowledgeable. Thank you

Nice video!! Are you able to explain how to know if my crepe Myrtle is dead?

Hello, our crape myrtles, at a recently purchased home, do not bloom-- what can we do about that, try to trim back? They are approx 20 ft tall, thank you!

Amazing video! Super informative can’t wait to take our crepe myrtles to the next level. Thank you!

How long from “bud” stage to “flower “🌺 stage?

What kind is that purple crepe myrtle? What is it called?

Awesomely informative! Thank you!

Awsome video thank you Mrs.Crepe Myrtle ❤❤

Excellent info!

How often should i water my newly planted .myrtle tree in a hot texas weather? I have 4 10 footer and 1 30 foot myrtles

enjoyed your video and keep up the good work!

Very helpful. Thanks. But I’d also like to know how much fertilizer to use for a tree in the ground.

Hi, my crape myrtles were doing just fine but for a few days im seeing the flowers dying. Its too hot in houston probably that is the reason, how often should i water them to overcome it. Can i do something else? Pls let me know thank you

Thank you very much! Great information!

Great information, thank you! I'm planning on planting a crepe myrtle in my yard. How long does a new planting take to start blooming?

hello, this was very interesting. however, can you provide a fertilizer type to feed the trees and when to apply to mature trees.
I have 7 trees however they are not blooming as well as they should. thanks.... !

Well, you have done a wonderful job of both informing with great articulation AND demonstration...thank you immensely.

Thank you so much!
Very helpful! Well done!

Jane's always the bomb!!!

This was a fantastic video! Thank you!!!! ❤

I live in PA I have 2 dynamite crap myrtles I fertilized in spring when it started to leaf out. Should I fertilize again they are about to flower?

My crepe myrtles look healthy but they never bloom, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you. You answered my question about if it's OK to cut the flowers of my crepe myrtle.

Great informative video. I planted a 15 gallon Crepe Myrtle a month ago and it's going from good to worse. It's about dead now, even though I've watered it 2-3 times a week. Then every other day when it got 90-100 degrees, the leave are dry and brittle like it never gets watered. I'm very sad about it. It's a dark purple variety. My soil is clay & well draining. Mixed with some acidic and some organic compost. Maybe it was planted incorrectly. BooHooo

Can malithion be used as the insecticide?

In regards to systemic pesticide.... You mention it can harm the bees, we've been fortunate enough to have hummingbirds nest in ours. Could that insecticide harm them as well?

great video, my crepe myrtles have the black sticky soot on them, do you recommend a specific insecticide I can spray? thank you

I moved into a home with some old, multi stem myrtles. It's almost august and I'm just now learning how to care for it. They have many large suckers, is it too late to prune them? Should i wait until fall, winter, or spring?

This was an excellent video,clear to the point and great photography,so many vids have info but you can't really see what their talking about 👍

Help! I have had Crepe Myrtles lining my drive for atleast 20 years. Periodically they come under attack by Aphids, which I treat with Ladybugs & Lacewings. Due to illness, my Trees didn't get cut back for a couple of years. In Jun this year I trimmed them and the began to grow & bloom. They are under attack with yellowing, curling leaves and covered with a microscopic white bug (smaller than Aphids) that if the branch is lightly shaken fly off like soot. The next Crepe Myrtle doesn't seem affected, but the one on the other side of it is.
I worry about the environment so I haven't used chemicals on my rose garden or elsewhere in my yard. I hope to get my behive up & running soon so again insecticides are a worry.
Please, would you tell me what possibly could be wrong with my trees? I know now that I opened up this problem by stressing the trees with a large trim after a time. My largest tree has a plethora of sucker's that it's not had before.
I also had an infestation of Spanish moss that a storm blew over from my neighbors yard. I thought I had gotten pretty much all of it off my trees. I've noticed that nothing can kill a Crepe Myrtle faster than Spanish moss.

Until I saw these microscopic white flies on my trees, I hadn't considered that the plants I recently brought home could have introduced the problem. I checked over everything but do not see any problems.
I look forward to your answer & hope you'll have advice I can use. Meanwhile I'll put in an order for Ladybugs & Lacewings. They couldn't hurt, and if they're not the solution, they can always move on to my neighbors yards. I thank you in advance. T.C.

What type systemic insecticide do you use as I have a crape myrtle tree so it is hard to spray?

Thank you so much for your information. Question..the suckers around my crape myrtle are about 3 feet. Should I cut them out now. In Texas and we don't get rain as often.

Mine are out of 😢control! 😂 I am here to learn more about them. They are beautiful 😻. My mom’s house and she has had them for a long as I can remember…..Thank you so much.

Deb here, San Carlos area of San Diego~~~~ professional nursery gal! They are beautful when in bloom which is around 3 months here in Southern California. BUT….. the rest of the year… in OUR GROWING SEASON…. they basically look dead FALL, WINTER & SPRING~~ almost all year nothing except lousy looking foliage~~ no good in my book! I WOULD consider a shrub form for a backyard~~ but definitely NOT for a front yard focal point!!!

Love your video! I learned a lot. Thank you❤❤

Hi! Thanks so much for the great advice. I do still have a question as I’m confused about the suckers. I know that if you want a TREE with its beautiful bark you should remove the suckers.
But what happens if you let some grow? Would that make it look more like a bush, which is also very nice? Would leaving the suckers make the plant produce fewer flowers?

Crape Myrtle trees are my favorite. I have one but it blooms late in the summertime. What is the name of Crape Myrtle that will bloom in early summer? Thank yoiu!

That was awesome! Lots of knowledge for me packed into ur video! I have 4 crepe Myrtle’s and love 💕 them

Very good video. Informative and covered many areas which help with growing Crape Myrtles.

Wonderful information! Thank You

Thank you. I have a problem with my tree: the leaves are growing and then die suddenly. I don’t know what’s wrong with my tree. All leaves are fell off😢
