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 for the tree's appearance, the current condition of the branches, the age and variety of the Crepe Myrtle, and any previous pruning history are important to determine the appropriate techniques and timing for the work.
