Hi All,

here is an Azalea that was collected from a development site in Sydney a year ago.

I think it is ready for styling.

Can anyone help me with ideas or direction? any verts, comments or ideas are much appreciated.

Similar toe the other one, Find the Line of the trunk and branches you wish to have in the final design, then remove everything else.
Look at the branches already there and that will be in a good spot to develop foliage on to make clouds of foliage.

Looks to me like a nice upright single trunk with a large low first branch.

Cut back real hard and use the trunk to make a small shohin sized tree

Azalea us one of the kind that get damage easy when cut off big branches to the trunk.
Watch out :
1. Sunny season
2. Seal immidiately on the cut off branch
3. Keep in half shade or under net cover.
4. Use mountain moss for root system.
