i have a tree of some sort growning up the middle of my crape myrtle. my husband and i just bought this house the summer before last and i really don't know how to take care of this issue. it is so twisted in there, i can't get to it to cut it down. i cut it back as much as i could this year and last, but it just ruins the clean apperance that i would like to have with it. also, i think that my husband and i pruned it way too much it was ALOT taller before we started wacking at it. some sights say to prune and some say its crape murder. so which is it?


im so confused!!!
