Crepe Myrtle

Can Crepe Myrtle be used for smoking?

I don't think so. I asked that question a while back and the common consensus seemed to be no. It is not a fruit or a nut tree even though it is very hard. I have a bunch in my yard. No one really new if they gave off anything nasty or toxic when burned.

Thanks for the info. I have 16 of them.

I just looked it up and a black mold grow on the tree, so I wouldnt use it
