Topic: Landscaping III [Solved] Crape Myrtle

[sunsoaker]

Here we have this tree in the yard which obviously needs some trimming. Can you tell me what it is and if there is a right way/time to trim it, or if I just go cutting...


Same tree, also has a problem. What is this and how to I get rid of it?



I believe this is the same kind of tree, only this one is younger, in full bloom and doesn't have the problem on the leaves the other one has. I could be wrong though. If it isn't the same, can someone tell me what it is. I think it's gorgeous with all the blooms on it.


OK, taking a break for a few, will be back with more..
