[Arid_gardener] My Texas Mountain Laurel Tree Problems

[Linda Drew]

Is it possible that it suffered frost damage
this past winter? This plant has few pests
and diseases.

for more information:

Are the leaves dead and clinging to the tree? Is it the banches
that re black?

Can you give more information about the symptoms you see or
send some digital images?
