Template:Infobox tree
An azalea tree is a rare variant of the oak tree with azalea leaves, similar to how its real-life counterpart is the azalea flower grafted to a generic tree. This tree generates above lush cave biomes, marking their presence aboveground, and extending roots down to the cave.
Generation
The rooted dirt and hanging roots that generate under an azalea tree.
Oak trees with azalea leaves generate on any empty space above a lush cave, including underwater. They are the only plants in Minecraft that have subterranean roots. The roots consist of rooted dirt and hanging roots that reach all the way down to the lush cave. The trees appear most commonly at the surface, but they can also generate inside caves given that there is enough room.
Using bone meal on an azalea or flowering azalea may grow an oak tree with azalea leaves, replacing the block where it was grown with rooted dirt. It does not need to be in the lush caves biome, instead working in any biome like saplings.
