Yesterday we had a branch broken off one of our crepe myrtles by a strong wind. Also, the wind blew all the bark (the stuff that peels and comes loose) right off the trees! What do I need to do to the area where the branch broke off (it's pretty big, about a foot long) to keep the tree from getting infested with bugs or fungus or other nasty stuff? Also, is there anything I can do to lessen this trauma for the tree? And will the bark just grow back, or should I be concerned about that, too? I love my crepe myrtles, they're the only real good spot of color in our yard, and I'd hate to lose one. Any help is appreciated! :) Lisa
