Crapemyrtle Cut to the Ground: Will It Return?

If a tree service cut your large crapemyrtle flush to the ground, it was likely a miscommunication. The good news: unless herbicide was applied to the stump, it will regrow aggressively from the roots next spring. You'll see numerous sprouts emerge.

Select the three most vertical, vigorous shoots to become the new trunks. Remove the rest at ground level. Continue this selection for a couple of years. The new multi-trunk form will establish quickly and look great.
