Crepe Myrtle Recovery After Late Frost in North Carolina

Cold‑Shocked but Alive

Linda's 10 crepe myrtles leafed out, then endured four frosty nights. Eight show dead leaves, but bark reveals green cambium.

Expert Outlook

The trees were cold‑shocked and defoliated, but the green cambium means they're alive. They will drop dead leaves and push new growth within a month. Do not overwater; let nature take its course. Patience is essential—don't give up on them.
