When do you prune crepe myrtle?

Prune Crepe Myrtle in late fall. It's a southern plant and u want to wait long enough that it won't be hot enough to regrow. I say November or December. Also Crepe Myrtles are stripped of all limbs on the lower half. It's best to do this most in fall and spring, but I usually have to trim this through summer too. Be sure to prune correctly to avoid disease
