Title: Crepe Myrtle question...
Post by: seminolewind on March 26, 2014, 02:05:20 pm
Any thing special need to be done to fresh Crepe Myrtle after cutting? I have a buddy who is an arborist back in town who I have gathering wood for me. He just came up with two 4" thick 6' long straight pieces of Crepe. What should I tell him to do with them? (besides shipping them to you!)  >:D

Thanks my boyer friends !

if he is sure they arent twisted then just split and seal the ends. cm quick dries very well.
