| General Description |
Dense and extensive thickets composed of Rhododendrons are conspicuous features of acidic coves in the mountains, where they are commonly referred to as "Rhododendron Hells". Rhododendrons also grow out in the open on high elevation heath balds.
This habitat is associated with montane climates. A few species, such as Rhododendron maximum and R. catawbiense, that occur in the Piedmont are included in the Cool Mesic Forests habitat although they are also major components of Rhododendron thickets in the Mountains.
