Crape Myrtle Sooty Mold: Neem Oil and Seasonal Relief

Four-year-old crape myrtles covered in black powder with white fuzz; spreading to shrubs. Expert: classic sooty mold on crape myrtles. Spray pure neem oil (insecticidal/fungal, doesn’t wash off). Good news: fall leaf drop clears it; spring looks clean. Spray surrounding plants too.

Simple Plan

  • Neem oil now on crapes and nearby shrubs.
  • Wait for fall—leaves drop, mold goes.
  • Spring: monitor, spray early if needed.

Annual cycle; neem oil breaks it.
