| I planted 2 crape myrtle trees last week on either side of my house. I live in Atlanta and know that the trees do very well in the climate. One is doing wonderful, the other I am afraid is dead or dying. All of the flowers have wilted away and the leaves are all droopy. We have gotten a good bit of rain and I have watered the tree on dry days. Both trees have received the same treatment and both get the same amount of sun/shade. Is there something I can do to help the sick tree, or should I take it back to the store to get another one to plant in its place. Help me please!!!
Thanks!!

| Let it dry out a bit. They don't like a lot of water. It's root system may not be able to handle too much. |
