On my front Lawn I have a Crepe Myrtle and every year the FIRST blooms start when Gold prices start upward ….to the DAY !and the mass of Blooms determines how big the Bloom harvest will be I havent determined that yet! I have to count the BUDS..My particular variety dosent match all Crepe Myrtle in Virginia , lot of them started earlier ,but mine matches the Gold season exactly,every year and the first blooms are there ! I prune it back when dormant certainly by DEC -February .Silver season ends as I cut all the years growth back to the BUD knot in February.The branches usually grow 8 feet each year .For the last 40 years it has predicted the beginning of Gold Season exactly..
