Hi johng, these all look like they will turn out awesome. Great work so far!
I also have a question I was hoping you could help with. This year I'm experiencing some kind of issue with my crapes that I did not notice last year. It's happening with standard and dwarf varieties but some trees are worse than others. What is happening is that some of the leaves will turn yellow or red, almost like fall colors, and fall from the tree. Sometimes they also have some black spots or streaks. This has happened with older leaves and also with younger ones that grow to replace the ones that fell. This has been going on since probably early July. At first I thought maybe the trees were getting too dry before I could get home to water. A fungal issue was also suggested and this makes sense with the high humidity we've had this year. Do you ever notice anything like this with your crapes or have any idea what it could be? I could post pics if that would be helpful.
