Certified ExpertA.Did you fertilize it recently? The are easily burned by fertilizer and this is known to cause sudden leaf drop in the plants.

Certified ExpertA.It sounds like either a nutrient deficiency or a drainage problem. Have your soil tested, then amend the soil accordingly and make sure that the plants are not in standing water

December 30, 2010Q.Any Ideas as to Azalea Losses?
I am on Wadmalaw Island SC. I have about 30 well established large azaleas and about 20 small "suzikis" (sp) About two years ago some of both varieties started getting yellow leaves and then dying branch by branch. I saw no obvious pests, and cut out the branches. The bush died anyway. The problem has slowly spread bush by bush from the first area. Any suggestions?

January 10, 2011Q.Lemons as Fertilizer
We had a hard frost and I now have some rotten lemons. I vaguely remember hearing something about using lemon peels as a fertilizer for something - maybe azaleas? Could I use these whole lemons in some way? I live in Sacramento, CA where winter can have freezes but the temps are usually 40-50s. Summers are dry with 90-100s for a couple months. Any suggestions would be great. I can just add them to the compost, but have lots of azaleas and would love using them as fertilizer for them if that were possible.

Certified ExpertA.Azaleas love acid, and lemons are high in acid, so they would make good fertilizer. I would not put the lemons on the ground as is though, as this could attract vermin and possibly burn the soil. Instead, I would compost them first before applying them to the azaleas.

February 15, 2011Q.My Azaleas Have Golden Brownish Leaves, Is This Normal at This Time of Year
Are brownish green leaves normal on azaleas this time of year, and if not, what needs to be done to them? We fertilized after the blooms faded last year. Not for sure if they need something done to them or if the winter cold has just affected the leaves.

Certified ExpertA.If you have had a rather cold winter, than this will do this to azaleas. They will be fine and will regrow new leaves in the spring.
