Crepe Myrtle pruning work generally involves selectively removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches to promote healthy growth and maintain the desired shape and size of the tree. It may also include thinning out dense areas to improve air circulation and light penetration, as well as shaping the canopy for aesthetic purposes. When evaluating requests for pruning, details such as the specific goals (e.g., height reduction, shaping), the current condition of the tree, the time of year, and the extent of pruning desired are helpful in determining appropriate techniques and scope of work.
