I wonder if this link would be helpful. Did a little google research and learned somethings about my crape myrtle in the process. Good luck!

Here is a link that might be useful: Crape/dwarf myrtle

Thanks for the link, but it's not powdery mildew. I have been googling and it apears it may be chlorosis. I'm off to H.D. to get some iron :)

Yeah, that would have been my next choice... I think my roses have the same problem... see ya at HD.

I just read some info about compact myrtle, "Susceptible to root rot in summer if soil is too damp. If soil is well drained, there is usually no problem."

That kind of thing can cause leaves to dry, as they aren't getting sufficient water from the roots.

Oooh! That isn't good :(

Get Chelated Iron folks. It works the fastest. Is awesome stuff. Cost more, but worth every penney!

easy

Alan, thats what I picked up :)

Garden Trolip - How are the Dwarf Myrtle zoo animals doing? I'm interested to know if the dose of iron remedied.

Susie, After moving ALL OF THEM under the Mesquite tree, I think the problem was UNDER watering. Even tho they were under a canopy...I don't think I was DEEP watering enough. So now I am watching the watering carefully and dosing them with Super Thrive once a week. I talked to a knowledgable lady @ summer winds. She thought the fact that they were in pots was probably the problem. Even tho they say "drought tolerant" They need watering atleast 3X's a week in the summer. Godzilla is not looking good (of course he was one of the most expensive) However the bark is still green, so I hope in the spring he will bounce back :) Right now most of them look like they have been thru Chemo :(
