PRUNE EVERY WINTER: For best results Crape 
Myrtles should be cut back to One Foot of the ground 
when planted. By using B&B in big sizes you get 
better root systems. Then every year thereafter, 
prune them back to within two to four inches where 
they were the year before. In this way you get much 
larger flowers, thick branches, and dense foliage. 
We grow most of ours in Balling Soil—it pays to 
Ball them. Write on order if Single Stem, or if Bushy 
Plants are wanted. 

White Crape Myrtle 
BALLED & BURLAPPED CRAPE MYRTLES transplant with 
unusual success from our Balling soil, to live, grow, and blossom 
heavy the First Season. B&B Crape Myrtle transplant into cold 
climates with success, whereas small NB plants Winter kill. Use 
B&B plants for immediate results in plantings.

around ends of Parkways. Measured by spread up to 5 ft.
