: How often do you fertilize a crepe myrtle? Thank you

Hi Robert,
If you have it planted in soil that has compost added, or you top dress with and inch or two of compost and 3" of mulch, you shouldn't have to fertilize at all. If you like, use something like sea kelp or fish emulsion to water it in.
