I pulled up the plants this morning and was relieved to see that the roots were totally clear of RKN. And I did cut a section of stem. You could see on the cross section the vascular discoloration and when it was suspended in a glass of water, I could see the bacterial stream. Yep, bacterial wilt.

Yep, it's a crape myrtle. I have lots of them around. Love 'em! In fact there are two large ones, one on each of the upper corners of the garden and between them are muscadine grapes on a fence. As they all conspire to send masses of fibrous roots into the top two beds, it means a thorough broadforking of those both fall and spring.
