Hello, All!
I'm in zone 8, Collin County. I could use some advice from other Texas gardeners!
My house has two front flowerbeds, each "anchored" by a beautiful 25'-30' crape myrtle. The beds are well-maintained, nicely mulched, and the sunnier one is mostly devoted to daylilies. The mulch makes it easy to control weeds, even nut sedge—new weeds are easy to pull out, roots and all.
Crape myrtle roots, though, are an ongoing problem. They run through the flowerbed under the soil and mulch, and send up clusters of baby crape myrtles constantly.
If you've experienced this problem, how is the best way you've found to eliminate or control those shoots?
TYIA for any ideas!
