Crape Myrtle Selection and Care
The Club helped sponsor the printing of a full-color brochure on the care and maintenance of crape myrtles in response to the brutal "crape murder" so often inflicted on these wonderful plants. You are welcome to print copies of this brochure for your use and for distribution. See the image of the brochure cover at the bottom left side of this page.
