I have a whole row of crepe myrtle bushes along the front of our property, they are so big and bushy that I can't get anywhere close to them with the riding mower. What I'd like to do is make trees out of them. Is that possible? trimming the bottom limbs off to make them look more like trees? These bushes are 7 foot tall maybe taller, and 6 foot wide. Their huge bushes. but the limbs hang all the way to the ground. I'd like to prune them as soon as possible. When would be the best time. Their blooming now.
I also have one other question.
I use to have them planted as white, pink, white , pink, and now their ALL white flowering. Which is ok, but I didn't realize that the pink ones would turn white like they have. Thought that was kind of strange.
