My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Azalea Roots Failed to Grow

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

I had Encore Azaleas planted ~18 months ago. Last season, I could see there was an obvious problem. The leaves were sparse. The blooms did put on several times during the summer but they were sparse too. It is early spring now and I just check the roots on several of them and found they were VERY shallow and had not spread out much either. See pics. Any help will be much appreciated.
