What do rhododendrons do to the soil?
Rhododendrons help protect the soil, but they are not heavy feeders and do not change the soil much. Their leaves help build up the richness of the soil after they fall off. Rhododendrons have very shallow roots, so the leaf litter on the ground is important to protect these shallow roots from heat, cold, sun, drought, and sudden temperature changes. That is why in cultivation, they do best when they are mulched.

Conversely, some rhododendrons will kill plants planted near them. That is one thing that is so insidious about R. ponticum in England. The ponticum runs rampant and kills some of the native plants.
