crepe myrtle problems

Question

I planted a few different types of crepe myrtles this spring and they have been doing great, but 3 of them that are the same kind (they are either Muskogee or Tonto–have thin trunks. . . lighter yellow leaves) are starting to lose leaves, which are browning up. It is not for lack of water and the rest of trees are great. Please help.

Answer 1

If you are certain that the tree is getting enough water, then I would look for pests or fungus. Treating the plant with a pesticide and a fungicide will not hurt it and will take care of these issues if they are the problem.
