Ok, let’s go thru it step by step.
Attached is a “AI” cause list for Yellow Leaves on Crepe Myrtle’s.
First up is fall, we can rule that out.
Next is the fungus….still possible.
Water Stress - is the tree in a “raised bed” or is it planted in the lawn. If in the lawn does it have a dedicated irrigation head? If so, is it operational? Is the tree also exposed to irrigation meant to water your lawn. So is it getting both? Do you monitor rainfall and reduce your watering when we get frequent rains?
Nutrient deficiency - our soils are very high in PH. Are the leaves green with yellow veins?
Pest Infestations - any sign of a sticky residue on the leaves or a black sooty mold ?
If none of the above…take a photo of area, leaves and tree and post. I’m more than happy to help id cause.
