Hey CMT friends. Here is some great information from our horticulture committee on post-freeze care of your crape myrtles. Be sure to SHARE with your friends who may need this information.

The keyword for your crape myrtles after the February 2021 Freeze is PATIENCE!

With more than 120 varieties of crape myrtles in the nursery marketplace, you can expect quite a lot of difference in mature sizes, growth forms, colors – and winter hardiness.

Did your crape myrtles survive the February cold intact, or will they suffer dieback? Here are some quick tips to help you know.

• If you can scratch the bark and see moist, green tissue, that wood is probably still alive.

• But remember that it’s normal for a crape myrtle, a sub-tropical plant, to have 6-8 inches of dead twig wood each winter. Don’t worry about that. It will drop off as new growth begins in the spring.

• If you do not find moist, green tissues as you progress down the stems, your plant may have frozen partway or completely to the ground.

• In our plantings of 40,000 crape myrtles across the city of McKinney in the past 20 years, we have seen frequent dieback of five specific varieties: Natchez, Tuscarora, Muskogee, Sioux and Country Red. It is probable that these will be damaged this year, and possible that others will, too.

• Watch crape myrtles in your neighborhood. If you have a plant that lags behind in leafing out by more than two weeks, it’s probably frozen back to the ground.

• If that’s the case, you can retrain your plant by cutting it back to the ground as you remove all the deadwood. Select the strongest shoots that it puts up from the ground and train them to be its new trunks. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you’ll have a handsome new plant.

• For the record, this is the same technique The Crape Myrtle Trails of McKinney recommends for salvaging plants that have previously been topped.

• Crape myrtles benefit from applications of nitrogen fertilizer (same as you apply to your turfgrass). Feed crape myrtles in early April, early June and early August.

• If you have a crape myrtle that needs to be transplanted, get that done in the next 3-4 weeks while it’s still dormant. Dig it with a ball of soil intact around its roots. Replant it immediately, and water it deeply.

• If you have been troubled with aphids or crape myrtle bark scale in the past (either of which can give rise to the black sooty mold), treatment time to prevent them is mid-May. Watch for details here at that time. There is no call to action now.
