I recently planted some rhododendrons, and some of them are not doing well. The leaves are curling and turning brown at the edges... I'll attach a photo below.

I'd appreciate any help with this.

thanks,
Susan

Are there any signs of holes or sawdust on the backs of the leaves? If so, it might be leaf or stem borers. Otherwise, I'd guess a water related problem (or a root rot caused by too much water in the planting hole that would get trapped by the surrounding clay) but I think it's a bit of a reach since your new growth didn't look effected yet.

Also, maybe the folks over in the Azalea and Rhododendron forum may have other options.
