      Both spellings are acceptable.

  What yer sposed to do is prune whole limbs at their bases (or start of fork if trimming a forked limb), to trim these back when needed. Amputating the limbs in the middle causes lots of little sprout limbs to come out of the stump, and makes it look shitty.

    Please tell that to every old person in my town. They think the ‘trimmed’ picture is how trees are supposed to naturally exist. Its so crazy.

      That’s how it was taught back in the day. My BIL was a landscape architect. He learned that method in college.

  I was convinced my father was telling me to kill the damn trees.

  I don’t like aggressive pruning but it’s not done while they’re in bloom. Mine is taking over the sidewalk so I need to do this, but it’s also not flowering or even has leaves at the moment.

    Doesn’t matter when it’s done. It’s bad for the tree.

    • JackbyDev@programming.dev ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Not saying it’s bad or not, it’s just a bad comparison. It’s implying it looks like crap, but the alternative is not what’s on the left. The alternative is what’s on the left with no blooms or leaves.

    You don’t need to do this. If properly pruned, crape myrtles will form a canopy over the sidewalk that doesn’t interfere with pedestrians and actually provides shade; if topped like the picture, they will form an unruly mass of growth right at head height.
