To rid yard of crape myrtle sprouts use a broadleaf weed killer -- or just wait them out
Q: We paid someone to dig up a crape myrtle two years ago, but they left some of the roots behind. Now I have sprouts coming up all over the yard. Roundup doesn’t stop them. What can I do?Glyphosates, such as the original formulation of Roundup, are really more effective at killing grasses than they are at controlling broadleafed plants like crape myrtles. I would suggest spot-treating with a broadleaf weed killer containing 2,4-D.
Q: Our red oaks are dying locally. Do you think it’s because of the stress of drought, or is there a deadly fungus going around?If you look closely at your photo you’ll see there are at least two former trunks or major branches that were cut back then left as stumps. Decay has set in and is overtaking the tree. The pruning cuts were made years ago. All of this has nothing to do with this year’s heat or drought. I suspect that your tree will eventually rot internally.
It could be that the plant that blooms more heavily is in a part of the landscape that naturally gets more water, and it could also be receiving full sun while the nonbloomer could be tucked back beneath an encroaching shade tree. Crape myrtles that were hurt by the cold of February 2021 have been reluctant to bloom well the past two summers. In many parts of Texas, that list has included Natchez, Tuscarora, Muskogee, Sioux and Country Red, but others were hurt, too.
