Have any of your azaleas gone this red before in autumn?
It usually goes browny black but not this year. Maybe a sign of stress during summer? Seems healthy enough in other respects.

The cutting next to it comes from the same, that's the colour it usually turns at this time of year.

I was told that the colour of the leaves in autumn varies depending on weather conditions. A very cold weather happening fast would bring more colours than a slow decrease. Or maybe that was a myth...

One of mine is similar, It never goes fully red as yours but always bounces back!!

Sounds like it might be the case here, this year after summer the temperatures plummeted really rapidly, much quicker than normal. Also this year the Azalea has been more exposed to the sun and wind than previous years.

Nice tree! Do you keep it in full sun in Summer?

Yes, It stays out year round :201thumbup:

I've had it five years and last year it flowered better than it's done before (or since!! :lol: )
