Hi,
After blooming this year all my two-year-old azalea plants have been growing
lumpy peanut-sized cysts on the tips of the branches. They seem to have
been the starts of new leaves, but malformed. What's wrong! I'm in the
Seattle area.

Azalea leaf gall - a very common problem in the area this year, due to our mild
winter and wet spring.. It is not particularly serious but unslightly. Just
prune off the affected parts.
