Hi guys,
This is my first winter with an azalea katsura and I'm finding it odd that it's leaves have yet to fall off and even change color. Are these azalea's supposed to go through winter dormancy by losing their leaves?
Thanks!

I had to look it up, but they're evergreens. Many azaleas are. I'm certain they're not going to be hardy in your area, though, so they'll need careful winter care.

I'm sorry. I suddenly realized that I got confused with the K in the second word of my acer and my azalea. My acer is a Katsura and the Azalea is a Kurume. Does your answer remain the same with this knowledge?

The Acer is deciduous. It should lose its leaves. The azalea probably is evergreen.
Oddly, there IS an "azalea katsura" so the original query made sense.

That's quite the odd coincidence!
Thanks for your help though. I think I'll have to bring my azalea indoors for the winter. I believe our winters are much to harsh for an evergreen, of this kind, to stay outdoors.
