Now THAT looks like a recovering crepe myrtle. I think you have saved your tree!

 

Yep... I agree with Jane. That new growth looks very healthy to me.

 

The tree is now completely healthy and is actually starting to bloom. It actually looks like there are going to be a lot of blooms.

Way to go Danny! I can't wait to see it full of blooms.

 

You did it--you saved the crepe myrtle! Proud of you !

 

Thanks guys.

 

So glad to see it is now thriving!

 

Just realized that I never showed a picture of the tree when it was thriving. It's dropping its leaves now but it looked awesome a couple of months ago.

Thanks for the update Danny. We are so glad it is thriving for you now. It is a beautiful color, also.

 

Looks very good. I have just begin to like Crape Myrtle. Now I have 3 or 4 in the gardens and have clipped as many as I could to get started for next Spring. I want the stuff planted all over the place. It's just a beautiful plant.

You did great saving that baby. Keep it up.

Danny, I'm so proud of you! That is a lovely tree that you'll enjoy for years.
I also take back the comment about espaliering vines on your house--they look great and are obviously under control. You taught this gardener a good lesson!

 

Congrats Danny... Great job on saving your Crepe Myrtle. It looks especially beautiful against the cheery yellow of your house.

 

Thanks guys!!
