After coming home from Alaska, I found that hubby neglected to
water any of my trees. All
of them were ok except for the Crape Myrtle which was severely
dehydrated. I watered it.
Drained it. And stuck it in a plastic bag with no parts of the
plastic sack touching the
plant. I also removed all the leaves that were dried up. It's
making a slow come-back..
some new leaves on a branch but it's also developing some with
hairy mold on some of the
branches. Should I poke some holes in the plastic or cut
affected sections back?

I've found crape myrtles to be resilient buggers :-) In the Savannah heat,
they got forgotten a couple times and came back with TLC. I put them out of
too intense sun, and did not have them wrapped in plastic. You may be
cooking them, dunno.

Good luck

Nic
