Crepe Myrtle Recovery After Hard Freeze Following Early Leaf-Out

Situation

Early warm spell → leaf-out. Then 4 nights in 20s. Leaves gone, trees look dormant.

Diagnosis & Recovery

  • Scratch test: Green under bark = alive.
  • Will re-leaf this season. Crepe myrtles are very resilient.
  • Water weekly if no rain.
  • Prune dead wood after full leaf-out.

Key Takeaway Crepe myrtles reliably re-leaf after spring freeze. Scratch test confirms vitality; patience and watering support recovery.
