bob,

did they have an assortment of colors? i'm always on the hunt for yellow and orange and they are so hard to come by.

sounds like it's worth a day trip.

thanks

They had an orange color but I do not remember yellow. They do have rhododendrons and a few other plants.

It is on the right side of Route 30 going west.

You have found a treasure! I have been getting azaleas from this place for years and years. It is a family run business and they have the best. You will never be disappointed with anything from this nursery.

hi Bob
Just saw this and tried finding a link for Hershey but none to be found. Is this the correct name if I would wish to call them or contact them? I live in Reading, so it wouldn't be too far a drive.
Hoping you catch this. Thanks
Joan

I was looking for a link. You may have to get a phone number from the phone book. I only went there once but I would call to see if they are still open this time of the year. I found them mentioned in the article below.

maryanne:

I remembered you were always on the lookout for orange azaleas. Well, I know where several are. It is a gibralter--deciduous azalea. Below is a photo. There are about 3 or 4 here that are about 2.5 feet tall. They are gangly as in the photo with several inches of naked branches even thought they are leafed-out. However, I saw them in bloom and they are striking. I might buy one for its novelty. I'm not sure. All plants at this nursery near me are 30 percent off. So, I think the Gibralter would be under $17. If interested let me know.
