The white crape myrtle can be grown as a bushy shrub or as a tree all depending upon how it is pruned and trimmed. New draping varieties can even be displayed in hanging baskets. The height of the various forms of white crape myrtle varies from about 18 inches to over 40 feet. The blooming period can actually be extended if the spent flowering heads are pruned off. As the flowers develop on the new growth each year, this allows for another flower head to develop in time to re-flower. The bark of the white crape myrtles keeps shedding and peeling off and what eventually results is a white-like hard stalk that is smooth and is alluring in its own right.
