Q&A – Can I root a crape myrtle sucker?

Question:
Can I root a crape myrtle sucker?
​​
Answer:
Yes you can. UT Assistant Professor of Residential and Consumer Horticulture Natalie Bumgarner says you should make sure you are not propagating a patented cultivar. That is illegal. You can propagate the suckers just like hardwood cuttings. You also may be able to dig up the sucker with some root attached already.
