| I have a crepe myrtle, Natchez variety, and some of the foliage is turning yellow/orange/red and falling off. I've attached a photo. Does anyone know what this might be? I think it might be a fungus but I'm not completely certain. Thank you! |

| it might be a fungus.. but what is stressing the leaves and the plant??? pic of the whole??? any drought?? excessive rain .. any other facts other than the color of the leaves??? ken |

| I can't think of any fungus problem that would cause that kind of symptom. My first gut reaction is that it is some sort of response to stress of some sort. Let's see a picture of the whole tree and one of the trunk, including the base where it's growing from the ground. |
