    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

    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.

    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.
