Thanks Alpineart. Is now the correct time? It has just started to shoot new growth.

The old wives tale concerning Crepe Myrtle.

cut a branch off an throw it into the air as high as you can.
It will come back down with roots on it as they are that fast :-) :lol:

Easy peasy to airlayer or grow from cuttings
