I have read that you use vinegar, but that seemed to make it worse.

Is it the black kind or the white kind? They are caused by different things and there are different ways to get rid of it, depending on the cause.

Here are a couple links to help with tree(s): http://homeguides.sfgate.com/white-fungus-crape-myrtles-33941.html or http://www.ehow.com/how_5711602_treat-mildew-crape-myrtle.html or http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/crepe-myrtle/crepe-myrtle-tree-problems.htm.Here are three (3) different "fixes" which should be appearing in blue, I hope they are hot but if not cut and paste into address line. Good luck! Hope one of these helps. Have a great day!

I use vinegar to kill weeds, hmm not sure I would spray it on a plant I didn't want to kill. I have successfully used a mix of dawn detergent and baking soda, but as Mary says I think a little research into what kind it is would be helpful. Good luck!

If it is white powdery mildew, ignore it. Don't overwater or over-fertilize. If it is black sooty mold, you probably have aphids or some other honeydew secreting insect, identify and spray.
