Thanks for your advice.

Jeremy, that's what I was afraid of. I thought that knob on tree 1 looked suspiciously like a graft but I wasn't sure whether they did that with Azaleas. Seems that tree has been ruled out. I might have another look at tree 2, if it's still there on Tuesday.

A friend advised me to buy a pot with a few thin Azaleas in it and move them into separate pots. At least with those I'd know they weren't grafted. But would it take forever for them to thicken? I'm not very confident on making a choice otherwise. Some of the nurseries have so many trees it's impossible to even examine them properly.
