Crepe Myrtles

From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to ALL on Tue Aug 1 09:32:00 2023

I have a few crepe myrtles in my yard. I have noticed that there is a new
one growing near the foot of one of the older ones this year.

Do crepe myrtles put off "sucklings," i.e. plants that grow from the same
root system as the parent (like locusts do), or is it safe to assume that
this one is growing from a seed dropped by the parent?

I would like to dig it up during the proper transplant season, so long as
it has its own root system, and move it to another part of the yard.

Thanks!
