If you are wondering why your crepe myrtle shrubs or trees have developed brown leaves, the first thing to look at is the calendar. Late summer usually brings about browning leaves due to the heat ...

You've waited and waited and waited. Still no leaves on the trunks of your crepe myrtle. All of the neighbors' crepes are leafed out and getting ready to bloom. Is yours doomed? Are you cursed?

Unfortunately, the damage stays there - until the leaves fall off at least. JEAN, BRIGHTON SA: Fair enough. NORMA, MARINO SA: Well a problem with a Crepe Myrtle. JOSH BYRNE: That's mainly wind damage.
