An '''azalea tree''' is a rare [[tree]] that can generate above a [[lush cave]] biome, marking the biome's presence aboveground. They extend their roots underground into the cave beneath.

== Appearance ==
Azalea trees are made of [[oak logs]] and [[azalea leaves]] on the surface. Their roots consist of [[rooted dirt]] and [[hanging roots]], which reach all the way down to the lush cave.

== Generation ==
[[File:Azalea Tree with Roots.png|thumb|right|upright|The rooted dirt and hanging roots that generate under an azalea tree.]]

Azalea trees generate on any empty space above a [[lush cave]], including inside other caves or in biomes that are not grassy.<ref>{{bug|MC-238499||Azalea trees can generate in any (surface) biome|WAI}}</ref> This can sometimes produce jarring scenery, such as when the trees generate in snowy plains or mushroom islands.

Azalea trees can generate in water up to 2 blocks deep, similarly to 'swamp' oaks. Unlike all other trees, however, the maximum depth is limited by the azalea's unique [[root system]] feature config rather than a 'surface_water_depth_filter' [[Placed feature|placement modifier]]. 

== Blocks and items ==
These items can be obtained from azalea trees:

* {{BlockLink|Oak Log}} (harvested with any tool, including hands)
* {{BlockLink|Azalea Leaves}} (harvested with [[shears]])
* {{BlockLink|Flowering Azalea Leaves}} (harvested with shears)
* {{BlockLink|Azalea}} (chance of dropping when breaking azalea leaves)
* {{BlockLink|Flowering Azalea}} (chance of dropping when breaking flowering azalea leaves)
* {{ItemLink|Stick}} (chance of dropping when breaking leaves)
* {{BlockLink|Oak Planks}} (created from a log in the inventory crafting grid)
* {{BlockLink|Stripped Oak Log}} (created by {{control|using}} an [[axe]] on a log)
* {{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}} (harvested with any tool, including hands)
* {{BlockLink|Hanging Roots}} (harvested with shears)

== Planting ==
{{Expand section|Add information about how the trunk of the tree grows|section=1}}[[Azalea]]s and [[flowering azalea]]s can be planted on:
* {{BlockLink|Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Grass Block}}
* {{BlockLink|Coarse Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Podzol}}
* {{BlockLink|Mycelium}}
* {{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Moss Block}}
* {{BlockLink|Pale Moss Block}}
* {{BlockLink|Farmland}}
* {{BlockLink|Mud}}
* {{BlockLink|Muddy Mangrove Roots}}
Azalea trees requires a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 5 blocks above the sapling (6 blocks including the sapling itself). No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree (an azalea planted in a hole 1 block deep can still grow).
Growing an azalea tree replaces the block below its trunk with rooted dirt. This only generates one block of rooted dirt and no hanging roots.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|223829|Azalea/flowering azalea don't create hanging roots under rooted dirt when it create azalea tree|resolution=Works As Intended}}</ref> Azalea trees do not need to be grown over a lush caves biome; they can grow anywhere, like [[sapling]]s.

Interestingly, azaleas and flowering azaleas produce identical trees with the same proportion of flowering leaves.
