Lichen On Azaleas

Question

I have several azalea bushes that seem to be covered with lichen on the branches. Although the leaves seem smaller and fewer on these plants, they did bloom well this spring. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try using a fungicide on your plants. You also want to make sure you’re dealing with lichen and not something else. There are several good articles on this site, just type in ‘azaleas’.
