Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

I have 2 large crepe myrtle trees that once were the talk of my neighborhood. For the last several years thay have bloomed very little. The new leaf growth looks good and then turns brown on the edges. I live in San Angelo Texas where we have a fair amount of salt in our water. I have observed other crepe myrtles in my community that look wonderful. Any suggestions?

There can be several factors that can affect the blooms of your crape myrtles. Has the plant's exposure to the sun been hindered in any way and do you fertilize on a regular basis? You could be lacking important nutrients or you could have a fungus in your soil. Check out our link to testing your soil on "Think Organic" on our website and consider taking a sample of your soil to your local extension office. You can also try using Garden-Ville's Sea Tea 2-3-2 which is a liquid fertilizer blend for flowering plants. Please keep us informed of your progress in resolving this situation.
