planted a new crape myrtle tree last spring and have question about pruning this first time. the tree is about 12ft in height at tallest branch and it's 4 trunks only about 3-4' at the thickest. should special care be taken this first year of pruning? or is it okay to prune as normally would a more mature tree? thanks.
