Game crashing after completing Penny’s Pursuit Battle

My game crashes after I battle in Penny’s Pursuit.   It crashes every time I try to collect seed packets in arena.   It crashes sometimes when I’m collecting mints in arena.   Ever since the introduction of the blaze plant (where I could not play arena for the entire month due to crashing) my game performance is terrible.   It is almost unplayable due to the constant crashing.   I am unable to send a bug report or ask for help.   I play on a Gen6 iPad tablet.  I am on the latest iOS (17.5.2 - I think) and the latest version of the game.  Any ideas?
