Hi! My crape myrtle's leaves have brown tips, and where that occurs, the ends die and drop off. Could somebody please help?

Thanks.

Hi Ijones,

Generally, that's a watering problem. Too much or too little can cause that. You should be able to tell which one it is.

If you are watering, check to make sure the water is getting down to the roots and not just running off when you water.

Thanks, Gami! I have two located about ten feet apart, one turns brown and one doesn't; both receive identical treatment.
