great video, my crepe myrtles have the black sticky soot on them, do you recommend a specific insecticide I can spray? thank you

Can it be grown in containers ? Iam in zone 7 would it come back here

In regards to systemic pesticide.... You mention it can harm the bees, we've been fortunate enough to have hummingbirds nest in ours. Could that insecticide harm them as well?

Can malithion be used as the insecticide?

Great informative video. I planted a 15 gallon Crepe Myrtle a month ago and it's going from good to worse. It's about dead now, even though I've watered it 2-3 times a week. Then every other day when it got 90-100 degrees, the leave are dry and brittle like it never gets watered. I'm very sad about it. It's a dark purple variety. My soil is clay & well draining. Mixed with some acidic and some organic compost. Maybe it was planted incorrectly. BooHooo

Thank you. You answered my question about if it's OK to cut the flowers of my crepe myrtle.

My crepe myrtles look healthy but they never bloom, what am I doing wrong?

I live in PA I have 2 dynamite crap myrtles I fertilized in spring when it started to leaf out. Should I fertilize again they are about to flower?

This was a fantastic video! Thank you!!!! ❤

I put it in my compost.

Hello! Thank you for what you're doing! I love your skill to transmit very clear informations. I have one question, if you could help me. A have a tone of "Hibiscus Syriacus - Blue Oiseau" and I can't find any information about making tea. Do you know if is safe to drink tea form these flowers or other parts?

What weeping tree is good for Zone 9?

Jane's always the bomb!!!

Shane is was searching for some info about myrtles and saw your video. I called my wife to run and look at what I found. So cool to see someone you know on KZfaq. We are Green Biz fans and now we know why…experts such as yourself.

Thank you so much! Very helpful! Well done!

Well, you have done a wonderful job of both informing with great articulation AND demonstration...thank you immensely.

Great video! I first noticed it while watering my potted basil. The pot started letting out a black fume and I freaked out! Glad to know this is a mold. I am wondering if the black fumes/dust will cause more kf these to grow around in my yard 🤔

hello, this was very interesting. however, can you provide a fertilizer type to feed the trees and when to apply to mature trees. I have 7 trees however they are not blooming as well as they should. thanks.... !

Great information, thank you! I'm planning on planting a crepe myrtle in my yard. How long does a new planting take to start blooming?

Thank you very much! Great information!

Hi, my crape myrtles were doing just fine but for a few days im seeing the flowers dying. Its too hot in houston probably that is the reason, how often should i water them to overcome it. Can i do something else? Pls let me know thank you

I just planted 2 patio hybiscus im in Missouri will my plants be ok for the winter?

I love this video. It’s very comprehensive. Although I do need, or rather would like to state my experience with a couple of the things you said that are a bit contradictory. I kept and have kept Hardy hibiscus, or, the perennial variety for decades now. And, mine grow closer to 10 feet tall and about the same diameter around. Usually I have to stake them up and tie them back. And, that is including cutting them back to the ground every year. I also have had rose of Sharon in multiple homes, multiple trees or rather shrubs. Although, I use the word tree because that’s exactly what mine turned into. They were closer to 15 or 20 feet tall, and we kept them trimmed to look like trees. Are these the same type of rose of Sharon that you are talking about? Thank you for the awesome video.🐠🦯

Very helpful. Thanks. But I’d also like to know how much fertilizer to use for a tree in the ground.

enjoyed your video and keep up the good work!

How often should i water my newly planted .myrtle tree in a hot texas weather? I have 4 10 footer and 1 30 foot myrtles

The tropical Hibiscus is my favorite flower.

Excellent info!

Awsome video thank you Mrs.Crepe Myrtle ❤❤

Awesomely informative! Thank you!

What kind is that purple crepe myrtle? What is it called?

Thank you so much for this video! So many people come down here and don't know what'll work best.

SIX WEEKS, JUST LONG ENOUGH TO EAT ALLLLLLLLLLLL MY SWEET FIGS

How long from “bud” stage to “flower “🌺 stage?

Amazing video! Super informative can’t wait to take our crepe myrtles to the next level. Thank you!

Subbed. Good info.👍👍

Can you guys upload a Hydrangea video? Pleeeeeeeaaaase!

Hi! I just planted 8 Crape Myrtles in my front yard! Thank you for the video and advice. I am clueless on how to care for them. I’ve always loved Myrtles and finally decided to plant my own. They are Miss Sandra CM. ❤

It is not a fungus, not a plant or an animal. It is in fact an intelligent organism that can solve mazes....

Why? They will help your soil!

Hello, our crape myrtles, at a recently purchased home, do not bloom-- what can we do about that, try to trim back? They are approx 20 ft tall, thank you!

Nice video!! Are you able to explain how to know if my crepe Myrtle is dead?

Your very knowledgeable. Thank you

You should consider starting a channel or playlist for how to's or other tutorials for people just starting out in the garden center business. I own a small hardware store and we're trying to grow our garden center area - so just having video's from you for not only the owner but also our staff to educate them would be amazing. I know a lot of us are in the same boat, so you would have a lot of very appreciative supporters. You could do everything from stocking plants and determining inventory needs for zones and demographics. Or setting up displays, layouts or the appropriate structures for retail environment; or even what to water with sprinklers or how to deal with the plants the days the business is closed to budgeting and calculating margins for owners. And for associates videos on how to care for plants at different sizes - such as watering or pruning or to know if the plant is not healthy and needs to be discontinued or disposed. Just a central place for all of us to get the same valuable education to be able to help each other grow. This area is so scarce in resources and I truly feel like you could make a big impact with the value of your knowledge and experience.

What do I do with my hibiscus plants in the winter?? Do we have to cover them or do anything special??

Thanks for the great video. I have very tall crape Myrtles. Probably almost 30 feet tall. I barely get any flowers on the top. Since I can’t reach those seed pods, how can I encourage more flowers?

Saw this on my black mulch and freaked out

how much distance i need to leave between my autumn lily azaleas?

Best Crepe Myrtle KZfaq.., Thank you very much. Any specific recommendation on insecticides for each of the problems?
