Collecting crepe myrtle in the deep south zone 9a in September

[Cajunrider]

Is it too late in the year to collect a crepe myrtle in zone 9a in September? I need to plant a palm right at that spot to match the other side of my drive way. I don't want to wait until the spring unless I have to wait.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Budding out nicely. Should have enough time to build some roots before winter.
