Crepe myrtles (Lagerstroemia spp.) are popular ornamental trees known for their showy flowers and attractive bark. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to remove a crepe myrtle tree. This can be achieved through various methods, including physical removal, chemical treatment, and natural suppression.
Physical removal involves digging up the tree’s root system and cutting down the trunk. Chemical treatment entails applying herbicides to the tree’s trunk or stump to kill it. Natural suppression involves planting other trees or plants around the crepe myrtle to compete for resources and eventually outgrow it.
