My crepe myrtle flowered the first year it was planted. It was about 2 metres high when planted about 6 years ago and is now over 3 metres. It has not flowered since that first flowering although it looks healthy and produces magnificent autumn colours. It is planted in the garden but not in full sunlight for the full day. It faces south and is sheltered to some extent from the north, east and west. It was planted by a reputable, experienced and very qualified landscape gardener but does not flower. It has been lightly pruned, once but not in the past three years at least. The soil appears reasonable as other plants like hedge plants and buddleia and grasses
planted there have all thrived.
Hi @Hispania,
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's great to have you join us. We're looking forward to reading more about all your projects and plans for around the house and garden. Please don't hesitate to post whenever you need a hand or have a new project to share.
It might be helpful for members to know where you are based and what kind of soil you have? Also, have you pruned your tree as yet? If you could share a photo or two, it might also help members to see what you are working with.
Many thanks,
Jason
Hello @Hispania
Would it be possible for you to post several pictures of your Crepe Myrtle. This will give our members a very good idea of the trees current condition. We can then offer you recommendations on how to get the tree blooming with flowers. If you need assistance in posting the pictures, please let us know.
Eric
