Hard to kill a Crepe myrtle, had two pulled out by a tornato 3 yrs ago, they
are still trying to come back, just water should do it.

I just bought some natchez crepe(crape) Myltes at Lowes for half price.
They are also half dead, the stems are still green. The woman there said
they will come back out. she said to mulch good with cow manure and use
some root stimulater when I water them. Any advice would be appreciated.

TIA
