Please don’t do this to your trees. It hurts my soul.

Crape Myrtle is the Bradford Pear of our time.

I feel like Chinese pistache is a closer match. Invasive, prone to branch drop, the hot thing everyone plants everywhere… I don’t love crape myrtles but they have been around for a while and other than convincing lots of people to prune them poorly, they haven’t created too many problems.
