Hey can anyone translate this into correct spanish?

"Please do not remove young crape myrtle."

If I have to plant one more of these things only to have it pulled up I'm going to go postal!

homeowners association landscape contractor getting to you? We have US Lawns in ours and they butcher the shrubs and lawn. drives me crazy!
I did have a sign translated and posted by my Jasmine vine...still needed to watch them closely to keep them for cutting it down. Talking to the manager, who has English as a first language, does not a bit of good either.

Yeah. I mean no disrespect though, they do great work and they are very efficient, but the language barrier is a pain. I suppose I should go back and take spanish again, I used to know a little after high school spanish, but I've forgotten all of it.

I thought about using a translator, but what happens if they screw it up? God forbid I accidentally insult someone. :D

My solution is a tomato cage or stake (this halts their machinery) - with a sign that says "Dejar esta planta aqu?!"
