Crepe Myrtle question...
« on: March 26, 2014, 02:05:20 pm »
Any thing special need to be done to fresh Crepe Myrtle after cutting? I have a buddy who is an arborist back in town who I have gathering wood for me. He just came up with two 4" thick 6' long straight pieces of Crepe. What should I tell him to do with them? (besides shipping them to you!)  >:D

Thanks my boyer friends !

if he is sure they arent twisted then just split and seal the ends. cm quick dries very well.
