Diseased Azalea

Question

I have tried many many products for diseased azaleas. Where do I go from here? I have about 100 plants. I have cut 95% back and as they begin to come back, the leaves are again diseased. Please help. As these plants are such a delight and I hate to give up on them. The leaves have tiny spots on the back and, of course, they become pale to white over a short period of time.

Answer 1
