I thought I had lost all my Crepe Myrtles, but some are leafing out. I did lose one. By the driveway. It has been dying for a few years. Every freeze, I lose a little more of it and now I think it is gone. Got to get my back yard cleaned up. I have switch grass and the only way to get rid of it is to pull it up. You can't run a lawnmower over it because it wraps around the blade. You can't use a weed eater either for the same reason. So I am now pulling switch grass and disposing of it. I won;t even compost it. I want no seeds from it in my yard. I may have lost 2 Rose of Sharon shrubs. They aren't leafing out. All in all, I escaped again this year with no real losses. And this winter was nowhere near as bad as last winter.
