Gifted Azalea

[alpineart]

This was a gift along with another Azalea as a result of the Albury show . A member of the Albury Horticultural Society approached me in regards to removing 2 plants if i wanted too and use them for Bonsai . Never one to knock back a plant i made the trip and removed them . This is the only 1 suitable for bonsai the other having extremely large flowers.

This was removed from the side of the clump along with 3 mini plants

This only requires a good clean out and trim

Hi Graeme , mate its a very good score here . I plan to grow an Azalea forest using the existing trunks as individual trees rather than hack it of at the base and start again . The base is 130 mm and the existing trunks are 250-300mm high as cut back by the owner before it was gifted away . Cant seem to find the time to work the tree's let alone updates .

Hi MOGGINATOR , plenty of good people out there offering material , anything looking unwanted or removed , be it by digger or hand I always stop and ask if i can salvage it .

Cheers Guys . Alpine
