Sick crepe myrtle | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

Trimmed back in february, sprayed with dormant oil in jamuary

Witchazel Master Identifier says:

Could be the dormant oil is the culprit. This source (http://web.extension.illinois.edu/cfiv/homeowners/050303.html) says “Spraying trees with dormant oil after bud break and leaves have emerged will still control the pests, but it may kill the young leaves or cause leaf edges to turn black if the correct oil is not used at the proper rate.”
