[1] A general garden fertilizer works well for crape myrtle. [2] Apply 1 tsp/5 ml monthly, March-August, along the planting hole edges of newly planted crape myrtles. Once established, 1-1/2-2 years later, just broadcast fertilizer in spring. [3] Good NPK ratios to look for are 8-8-8, and 10-10-10. Such equally weighted nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizers need to be applied at the rate of 1 lb/0.45 kg per 100 sq ft/9.29 sq m. [4] The heavier nitrogen fertilizers, ratioed at 12-4-8 or 16-4-8, also work. But they should be applied at the rate of 0.5 lb/0.22 kg per 100 sq ft/9.29 sq m. For too much nitrogen in the soil causes dense, lush vegetative growth at the expense of bloom.
The difference is in the pruning. You have to prune the crepe myrtle to have a single main stem to become a tree. If it has several main stems, it becomes a bush.
The domain for a crepe myrtle, as a plant, is Eukaryota.

My crepe myrtle died this year. It would have been at least 50 years old.
Everyone who wants to know this you all suck!
yes
No, crepe myrtle is not toxic to horses. However, if a horse eats too much it can cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
Not sure about that... I am sure the goats are toxic to the crepe myrtles if you give them the chance...
They are Bark Lice
As close as you like.
Originally from Asia, Crepe Myrtle (aka Crape Myrtle) was brought to to England and the United States in the eighteenth century and is now grown in warm climates around the world. In the US it is found as far north as Massachusetts.
