Find Your Dear Plant Expert:
I have 6 matured live oaks in my front yard. Can I plant azaleas around the bottom of these trees?

Candace,
Azaleas and oaks can live together quite happily. However, azaleas do not due well in deep shade so plant them as far away from the base of the oak as possible to give the azaleas access to the better light. Also keep in mind that you may need to water the azaleas in the summer since the oak trees will use most of the available water.
Hope this information was helpful!
