| Is anybody else having a problem this season with a fungus on the new leaves of their crape myrtle? What can I use to kill it before it kills my tree? |

| Corn meal added to the surrounding soil and stirred in will help considerably as well as a corn meal spray for the foliage. |

| In my last house with crepe myrtles I used cornmeal and KHCO3. Toward the end and heard from HG about 10% milk solution. so I tried it and after using all three, the fungus went away. The milk lesaves a white stain on some of the leaves but the plants perked up and the white stain was definitely not fungus. |

| As an extreme solution you might cut down the tree you have now and get one of the mildew resistant brands. What a relief to not bother with that any more. |

| We have some research now showing that garlic tea also works well. |
