Crepe myrtle trees

[AndyS]

Andy asks:

Dpes anyone have a method for taking sprigs off a crepe mryrle trees and sticking them in the ground and getting new trees to grow from the sprigs ?

Thanks,

Andy

Not much method to it, just do it. Greater success is realized if you shade the cuttings a bit and keep them well watered. I prefer using what is sold as one gallon container pots, but the garden or flower bed works.

Andy replies:

Thanks Hal. I was wondering where to cut the sprig, how long should it be, how far to stick it in the soil, any pre-soaking required --- stuff like that.
