: The recent frost damaged my crepe myrtles. The leaves have all turned black. I jut planted them last fall so they are all very young. How much do I need to trim back an when? (They were 5 gallon plants when planted)
HELP???? Thanks Portia

Portia, You will have to wait until the new growth comes out and prune the plant back to this live wood. Crepe Myrtle is on of the last plants to leaf out so don't rush into this. Earl
