The leaves on my crape myrtle are falling off. I can see bug holes in the leaves. I want to know what to use on them. I tried a spray I use on my roses just to see if it will help but it is not helping...Please help I have several and hate to lose them. I planted them last fall. I live in TN and they grow beautifully here.
Except for mine.
Thanks

Make sure the damage is caused by beetles, it might be necrotic spots caused by a pathogenic fungus. That means you need a fungicide not insecticide. Your Dept of Ag should be able to advise how to handle the problem.
