A blogging friend once referred to crape myrtles as "plastic plants"...
Nothing gets any use out of them... no butterfly visits them, birds have no use for them... no caterpillars... you get the idea...

Probably the easiest way to get more of them... is to till the soil around your existing stands.
By turning the soil.... you cut through roots... and in my experience... every single one of those broken pieces sends up new trees!

Or... you could try to dig them out... you will soon see a ton of new trees in the spot that you just took the crape myrtle from!
And... like mickey's mop... every time you attempt to dig out those babies... you will get more!
