Garden Tip: It's been 2 years since I posted a Tip here imploring my fellow Texans not to "top" our state's crape myrtles. There is never a justifiable reason to do so, and it ruins the plants' growth forms forever.

Excuses I hear:
• MY PLANT IS TOO TALL. Then my reply is – either move it or re-move it. Get it to a place where it can grow to its full height without topping or take it out entirely. If you whack it, it will only try to grow back. That's when those big, ugly knuckles develop.

• IT MAKES MY PLANT BLOOM BETTER. That's just not the case. University research has shown that plants that are topped produce their first blooms 6 to 8 weeks later than plants that were not topped. I can show you thousands of crape myrtles in McKinney that bloom 3 times each summer because they have never been topped. Topped plants also produce giant flower heads that their supple stems cannot support. They flop about gracelessly.

• THE COMMERCIAL GUYS ARE DOING IT, SO I FIGURED IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Well, those guys are wrong. Odds are, their employers who own the shopping centers or office parks have demanded that they do it, or maybe they're just basically uninformed. But either way, they're wrong.

Friends, crape myrtles are my favorite flowering shrubs. I helped found The Crape Myrtle Trails of McKinney. We have planted upwards of 30-40,000 crape myrtles in our city since 1999, and I work with crape myrtles one or two days weekly. I have written much of what you will find on the CMT website https://crapemyrtletrails.org, and the photos are mostly mine.

If you are choosing a crape myrtle for your own landscape, please look on the website at the lengthy chart of more than 100 varieties and note the wide diversity of mature heights. You will see plenty of options that will allow you to plant without ever having to worry about topping.

If you have a plant that has previously been topped, perhaps by a prior owner of your house, it can still be salvaged. There are complete instructions on our website about how to accomplish that. They may surprise you.

You will also find detailed information about crape myrtle bark scale and sooty mold, but I don't believe you'll find reference to "crape murder." I'm kinda done with that term. I'm sure you will see it posted as a comment here, however.

Is this a matter of personal rights? Sure it is, and if someone wants to top their crape myrtles, it's well within their jurisdiction. My goal here is simply to educate, so no need to get defensive.

I have a few openings next week for mulching, landscape cleanup, hedge trimming, irrigation repair etc. I can handle all of your outdoor needs.
