I will share frequently asked questions and answers about Lagerstroemia.
"What is this gorgeous tree?"
Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstroemia) is a Far East-Chinese origin ornament, reminiscent of a sculpture with a magnificent boulder that blooms in pink, white, purple and tones in July, with long-flowered leaves, leaves turning red-orange in the autumn, the plant.
"How hard is it?"
The Lagerstroemia, which loves the conditions of temperate climate, is also tolerant to the harsh winter conditions. Excessive irrigation in the autumn avoids deeper pruning and fertilization, resulting in the formation of weak and unstable new shoots, thus preventing these weak shoots from freezing under cold winter conditions. If you live in a region where it is very hard in winter, you can protect it with the method of mulching after covering your leaves with the leaves (covered with leaves, straw, dryot etc.).
"The tree is not blooming. Where am I doing wrong? "
Lagerstroemia wants to see the sun all day on the tree. Even taking sunshine for an hour in the day can put you at risk of getting flowered. If your tree is a little sunny place, you can move it to the most sunny spot of your garden. You have to wait for January to do this and carry out the transportation without disturbing the roots, without distributing the land around the root.
"When and how should I plant my tree?"
Pruning of the tree is very delicate. Apart from the removal of the thin shoots in the interior to remove the air that dries up last winter, you can achieve a more majestic and fuller appearance by forging a balanced and light pruning from the ends of the shoots at the beginning of each year, in addition to reducing the fine shoots in the interior to increase air circulation. In cold climates, do not prune in the autumn or winter months. In this regard, you can get help from an expert gardener, but be careful not to be in your tree when I say I will prune.
"Lagerstroemia has white-gray powder layers on the leaves and gonads of my tree. What should I do?"
Shrinkage is a kind of fungal disease that occurs especially in damp, airy, shadow areas. You can benefit from the Fungicide medicines sold on the market in the fight against this disease, you can come from the top of the disease by applying medication every 15 days. If the problem is too advanced, you should destroy the diseased leaves and goncaller.
