We have 3 in our front yard. After 4 years of beautiful blooms - last year we endured our first exposure to Aphids. I tried a few treatments but none had great sucess. After doing some research - I'm thinking about trying a systemic treatment before our trees bud new growth (just pruned them this weekend). I'm going to try Bayers product - which you mix and pour at the base of the tree.
Anyone have any experience with this kind of treatment on Crapes? And was it successful?
Thx.
Pre- Treating Crape Myrtles for Aphids.?
If the tree is still dormant - try a dormant oil spray - like for fruit trees. It will kil overwintering aphid eggs and prevent fresh spring infestations.
