A storm caused several limbs of my heavily laden crepe myrtle to droop like a weeping willow and a few of them broke off or split. How do I repair it?

The weight of the water on the foliage and thick flowers are weighting the branches down.  When the water evaporates they should get some relief.  Broken branches should be pruned to make a nice cut that will heal cleanly and as quickly as possible.  Splits are more problematic.  If there are extensive cracks, I’d consult a qualified arborist in your area to discuss your options.
