Crapeist

A home owner, lawn maintenance crew, or amateur arborist who violently prunes back a Crape Myrtle tree/shrub leaving its limbs knobby and arthritic in appearance. A common practice in the South to promote bloom development during the spring and summer.

"Look at that brutalized Crape Myrtle bush...it's been mutilated it by a crapeist!"
