My azaleas have been around for 8 years and always did really well but something happened to them this summer. I'm wondering if they didn't get enough water or if I should have fed them more?

That looks like 'rust'. On top of the leaves, do you see tiny yellow spots? Sometimes you will also see reddish orange blotches under the leaf.

I've had a few to do that and I think it's a fungal disease that won't go away no matter what I do. I think I'm going to have to take up the plant.

We can't grow Azaleas here, they will not over winter. Have you tried spraying it with fungal spray, Bestofour??

Yes. It's something that happens around here once in a while and it will be an entire area. It's cheaper to pull them up than treat and treat and treat again.
