Crepe Myrtle Dropping Leaves

Question

I just planted a new crepe myrtle three weeks ago and now it is dropping its leaves. It is in a southern exposure in a well drained spot. It has had enough water. I do not see any aphids, but I dusted for them anyway. It has new growth on the end of its stems.

Answer 1
