just concern yourself with ensuring that the trees get plenty of water. Theyll drop those leaves when winter hits. Cut em back right around mardi gras and theyll explode late spring/early summer with new growth.

Presactly.

You do not top crape myrtles. Ever!! You selectively prune interior growth. Crape myrtles should not be topped. Pick a smaller variety if you do not want it to tall. Topping the tree will make it more susceptible to disease and infestation. Do not be a crape murderer. Haha
