Prune Crape Myrtle

gigim
10 years ago

Just planted this semi dwarf Acoma crape myrtle. One fork of one of the main branches is rubbing against one of the other main branches, is it ok to prune now? Also, I have done alot of looking at how to prune a CM online but the question I have is WHEN. Can I "tidy" this one up now or should I wait until next year? I promise not to commit "crape murder" . Oh and BTW, it may not look like it but it IS planted 5 feet away from both walls in anticipation of a 10 foot spread. Thanks for any advice.
