Crape Myrtle
I made a serious mistake years ago. I have a climate controlled greenhouse. I’ve multiple crape myrtles on my 6 acre property. I planted what I thought were crape shrubs. They turned out to be trees. I cur them back but they just keep getting stronger. They put too much shade on the GH. How can I get rid of them. I am 71 and still gardening, but not as strong as I used to be. Advice needed!

If you need to get rid of trees on your property I suggest you hire an arborist to cut down the trees and remove the stumps to keep them from resprouting. You can also just look up tree services in your area for tree removal. Cutting down trees can be a dangerous job and it is not recommended for someone that is not as strong as they used to be. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
