Great, thanks. I just coated the tree with about nearly 1.5 gallons of
water with 0.5 gallon of milk added (total 2 gallons). Hopefully that will
stop this nonesense.

Powdery mildew is a huge problem with certain crape myrtles. It happens more to
the plants which are in stress. If you cut your crapes back in winter to the
nubs you see everywhere around town, I recommend you stop. It could very well
be the causation of the problem and it is not necessary.
