Question
I  live in charlotte nc ,have a pair of crepe myrtles and we had a late frost and they were budding and now the leaves look like dried up spinach- what can I do to facilitate new growth and ensure they dont die.  

Answer
Patrice,

The only thing that can be done at this point is to fetilize them well, make sure they are kept watered and monitor them against damaging insects. Use a good quality organic fertilizer to maximize health and growth.

Good luck,
