Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 80807, member: 944"] This is a mystery. I guess it could be sunscald although I have never seen a crepe myrtle have it and I have a few of them on my property. What do the leaves do when they turn black? Do they curl and fall off or do they hang onto the tree. Hopefully they fall off. If they don't it might be a more serious problem involving the soil itself. You said it was on a newly developed lot and on that type of property they normally add fill dirt to level and grade for new construction. It could be possible that the soil is contaminated although I think it unlikely [/QUOTE]
