re: Crape Myrtles and the snow

I have 3 big arse Crepes and a River Birch, I'm double fricked.

My dwarf type are leafing out in south mississippi

Crepe myrtles bloom a smidgeon later I think.

my neighbors have three that go alongside my pool, they are mature trees that aren't maintained or pruned. Every year for the past 10, they get fungus and drop yellow leaves, worms, and blooms into my pool.

At times the pool equipment gets so over whelmed I've come home to 2 inches of crap on the surface of the water. They've burnt out the pump motor once. The irony is that if I prune any branches on my side of the property line, the fricker grows back stronger than ever on my side.

I pray every year that a tornado or hurricane gets them. Last year Beryl at least stripped most of the blooms and leaves for the season. But alas, I just noticed new leaves this morning. frickers.
