Crepe Myrtle Trees are pretty easy to care for.

When it comes to a crepe myrtle tree it's best to water the crepe myrtle tree at least  1 to 2 times per week or if it rains a lot then you don't need to water the crepe myrtle tree as much.

Prune the crepe myrtle tree in the early spring and winter months but only sparingly prune it.

Make sure the crepe myrtle tree also gets plenty of sunlight as the crepe myrtle tree needs plenty of sunlight to thrive and grow properly.

Applying some fertilizer to the crepe myrtle trees soil can also help keep the crepe myrtle tree thriving.

The size which is known as the mature size of the tree is the only difference between a crepe myrtle bush and tree.

Other than the mature size of the crepe myrtle bush and the crepe myrtle tree is the size it grows too when it matures.

A crepe myrtle bush and a crepe myrtle tree are the same thing but the crepe myrtle tree grows larger than the bush does.

The wood is basically the same thing for the crepe myrtle bush and the crepe myrtle tree.

Crepe Myrtle Trees are commonly used to make wood crafts such as wood canes.

My Grandpa made himself a Crepe Myrtle wood cane and they do make good walking canes.
