Though neem oil is deemed appropriate for pesticidal use, it can also cause
death to beneficial insects. Another way to go for people who are thinking of
planting crape myrtles is the choice of powdery mildew resistant varieties.
There are many varieties not susceptible to mildew.

Neem does work for fungal problems, but milk is as effective on powdery mildew
and won't harm beneficial insects in the way.

I have a fungus on some of my Crepe Myrtles. I did last year and used a
product by Bayre that took care of it (a powder) that I cannot seem to
find
this year. Any suggestions on another product?

thanks
