Collected azalea

Post by Paulneill »

I collected this a month ago in a mates garden as the house was being demolished. It was placed in a make shift green house made of wood and cling wrap. And received morning sun for an hr or so. Since then it has formed lots of new bud sites and opened lots of new leaves. I’ve removed it from the green house in Going to start giving it more sun. The root ball was large surprisingly. Perth is very sandy and it’s a wonder anything grows at all.

It looks pretty old considering it’s size. The base is thicker than a can of coke. Looking forward to working with it over the coming years.

The photos are crap sorry about that but will update this in the future.
