I believe I have a crape myrtle (Acoma...white flowers) in my front yard, but I'm not positive. I have been looking at pictures of crape myrtles on the internet, but they don't look like my tree. The leaves and flowers seem to be the same, but the tree itself doesn't look like the ones in the pictures. I think that might be because I've never pruned the tree before. It's about 6-7 feet tall, and my leaves and flowers don't grow only at the top (like the pics), they are all over the place.
Anyway, I want to trim some of the lower branches from covering my shrubs. So, before I prune it to look like the pictures (not the whacked off ones), I was just curious as to whether or not there are any trees that could be confused with a crape myrtle. I read on one website where someone confused their dogwood for a crape myrtle, so I looked up dogwood...and it's definitely not a dogwood.
Thanks!
