Pruning crepe murtles

I found out this year that you DO NOT have to prune a crepe off the top!! You prune it from the bottom up and leave the leaves on top and the extra old stems. That way it grows bigger, taller and more full and it doesn't look bushy! Works for me. I pruned some more yesterday and they look fabulous! I love working in the yard in the sunshine and under God's presence!
