Hi. My crepe myrtle as of the last month and a half seems to be unhappy ? Only the tips of the leaves are all turning brown. I've stopped feeding and they new growth is still producing brown tips. Tree is healthy and still producing seed whips and budding flowers Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm stumped

I also think you could chop that leader down for a much nicer tree.. best of luck.

nice tree, especially with that pot

bringing it into tighter silhouette seems good

The original plan was to let the lower branch's catch up to the apex and re wire them this fall. They have already put on a 3-4 inch's of new wood in length and would blend with the apex. I dunno. I'll probably see how that looks this fall. Worst case I chop the top lead back
