So the new crepe myrtle became thoroughly infested with aphids and I didn't get to them in time before sooty mold took over from all the honeydew.I've sprayed them now and will be diligent to keep them under control. Is there something I can do to remove that black mess from the leaves without harming the plant? Some sort of soap solution or is it better to spray with a fungicide? or a two pronged attack first with fungicide then some sort of soap solution to clean the leaves and bark.Ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
