I bought 4 crape myrtle trees last year. They did good all last summer until late summer 2 of them got black spots on the leafs. I guessed it was a funguss and sprayed them with a fungiside. The leaves feel off in atumnn like normal. As of today they look dead 4/30/07, no leaves yet, and the bark has a lot of black on it. but the other two crape myrtles have leaves on them now, they are doing good. Anybody know what the problem might be?
