PS I have since exposed the reasonably good buttress and some of the branching which can't be seen here.

Re: Satsuki
The original parent probably was Jon. I believe the variety to be Gyoten, a sport of Kaho. I'll make a photograph of the 'tree' without blossom when the frosts subside a bit. It's frozen at the moment.

Re: Satsuki
This one is Nikko
-and here is Nisho no Hikari
They're left out all year here in temperatures which reach -4/5C and are perfectly hardy. They are planted mostly in Kanuma with a pinch of chopped peat.

Re: Satsuki
How does he stop them from drying out Pup? Does he have an automated drip feed system? I lost me best Azalea during our Drought.The tempreture in the hills of Perth was 39% so they are hardy in the heat too if protected from direct sun.

Re: Satsuki
This is what a flower looks like. (I'm trying to get a third tool on my roll 
)
You thought that they only had five petals didn't you? Well, there are odd ones with six.

Re: Satsuki
Nikko was a bit dull so I've brightened it up somewhat.

My Satsukis are mostly in Kanuma, with a sparse sprinkling of chopped sphagnum peat.
Here is an Azalea with abrupt taper which will take a lot of time to catch up to the base. It isn't mine but I show it for comments:-
