Yes, George Taber Azaleas require acidic soil with a pH of about 4.5–6.0 to thrive. Planting in the right soil helps ensure healthy growth, vibrant foliage, and strong blooming performance.

Yellowing leaves are often caused by poor drainage, overwatering, or soil that is not acidic enough. Azaleas require well-draining, acidic soil, and improper conditions can lead to nutrient deficiencies and stress.

George Taber Azaleas prefer consistently moist, well-draining soil, especially during their first year of establishment. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering or soggy conditions.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
