Diseases Affecting Azaleas

Question

We have recently transplanted an azalea from another garden. It now has a sage green coloured fungus which is situated between the forks of the branches. Need to know if this is fatal or whether it can be treated, and if so, how?

Answer 1

The fungus you see on the azalea could be lichen. It is not harmful to the plant but if you want to be rid of it, this article will help:
