|
|
| It's the first of November and all the leaves have fallen off one of my crape myrtles. Do you think it's sick? It is planted infront of a retaining wall and behind some shrubs. It has always been okay in the past. Should I just apply sick tree treatment? |

| Many trees have had early leaf drop this year even though we haven't had a hard freeze yet. The STT certainly won't hurt but your tree is probably in no danger. |

| Howard, do you think the early leaf drop is due to all the rain this year? |

| Yes, that followed by the intense heat. Plant roots had become lazy and weak. |
