In the late fall, when you prune your crapes, take the stems below the old blooms, and cut them in 6 inch pieces. Score the stem bases, (nodes pionting upward). Take four or five of these and wrap a rubber band around them. Then place them in a sawdust bed. Be sure to keep them moist. By spring, they should begin to sprout leaves. Or, you can take a small branch and put it in soil. They are fairly easy to propagate.
Is it possible to grow new crape myrtle plants from cuttings? If so, how?
I think you root them in sand with root hormones, I cut two down last year and all kinds of little ones came up and I dug them up and transplanted them...Good luck
