Crape Myrtles


Question
We planted 2 white crape myrtle last year and they fared really well until this spring when some of the leaves are curling and/or turning dry and brown on the ends.  I can see no insects. We live on the Outer banks of North Carolina and we see these trees everywhere, so they do like our climate.  It's been a very dry Spring so there is no mildew around.  February was unusually cold, but I cana't see how it would affect the leaves.  Please HELP!
Thanks!
