Question
Hi, wondering if you might be able to tell me what I should do to save my rhododendrons and azalea.  I have found white fuzz in the joints of both shrub species in my rooftop container garden.  The azalea is particularly hard hit although it was magnificent while in bloom.  I prefer green cures but am not averse to using pesticides.

Thanks in advance for any words of advice.
