Are my azaleas ok? #557338
Asked May 01, 2019, 10:07 AM EDT
Two of my azaleas look tired or blighted. Both are about 10 years old and have been healthy until this spring. The larger one of the two has white flowers and has new buds. However the leaves look dry.

Expert Response
No, these azaleas do not look like they are doing well. Many trees and shrubs have declined this spring due to soils being too wet. This is largely due to the record rainfall amount we have recently experienced. They will need to be replaced.
