    Their root systems are not too extensive and transplanting can be done successfully with proper care. While it is generally best to do this in fall, you can also transplant the shrubs in spring as long as the weather where you are is not too hot. Just make sure to dig up as much of the root system as possible and place it in a suitable location. Also, water the azalea well after transplanting. It may help to trim the shrub back too, though this may reduce blooming next season but will help reduce the chance of shock.

    Are the leaves yellowing first or spotting before they turn brown?

    It sounds at the surface like it may be a fungus, but it may also be root rot. This article will describe the symptoms of root rot and you can see if that fits:

    It sounds like it may be Twig Blight. Check under the bark of the dead branches for a red dicoloration. If you find this, it is Twig Blight and all the affected branches must be removed,making cuts a few inches below discoloration, and destroyed to have any chance of saving the bushes.
