Crepe myrtle trees can be affected by several insects, including aphids, which suck sap from the leaves, and scale insects, which can cause leaf discoloration and decline in health. Additionally, spider mites may infest crepe myrtle, leading to stippling on the leaves and webbing. Other pests such as leafcutter bees and various caterpillars may also feed on the foliage. Regular monitoring and management can help protect these ornamental trees from insect damage.
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.

Crepe myrtle plants are not specifically known for repelling fleas or other insects. However, their flowers can attract beneficial insects, such as pollinators, while their foliage may provide habitat for certain predatory insects that can help control pest populations. To effectively manage fleas and other pests, it's better to use dedicated pest control methods alongside companion planting strategies.
My crepe myrtle died this year. It would have been at least 50 years old.
Everyone who wants to know this you all suck!

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
