These are 2 azaleas i bought from Lee 2 or 3 years ago. They both had quite a root chop last year when i took them out of the original old plastic pots. They grew well through last year and this is this years flowering as of today. I plan to put a bit of shape into the branches this year. Moving forward do i need to sacrifice the flowers and remove buds early to improve the growth of the plants next year ??? 20190609_114428 by richard borrell, on Flickr 20190609_114559 by richard borrell, on Flickr |

Many people say so (removing flowers) but I find the trees grow well enough even after flowering and its for the flowers that we have them. After the flowers wilt I'd cut them off. |

I recently purchased an Azala (still not flowered yet!) and not knowing much about them started trawling the web for info, a couple of highlights would be this article (monthly time line for Azalea in America) http://satsukiazaleabonsai.org/satsuki- ... nsai-care/ Also BonsaiTonight has some good blog posts about azalea and this one is relevant to your question Richard regarding flower removal .... https://bonsaitonight.com/2018/05/08/re ... i-azaleas/ This one takes it a step further and removes the buds before they flower to increase foliar growth for trees in development .... https://bonsaitonight.com/2018/03/06/re ... i-azaleas/ There is a fair few more on his site so use the search feature for 'Azalea' and have a browse, enjoy |
