Participated in my first workshop on Saturday - Azaleas. The 3 nursery stock I took along I'd had for about a month. They flowered beautifully and I had been watering them once or twice a day depending on the weather. The root ball on all 3 were exposed to find they were all bone dry. So they spend a couple of hours soaking in water, then trimmed and advice was received on styling each. I brought them home and placed then in a solution of seasol overnight and then potted them up on Sunday with theirs (and my) first styling. These are the before and after of each.

1. Indica - Eri Schame 2. Indica - Rose King I broke the long leader on the left complete off at the trunk whilst styling, so had to face the wound toward the soil, the straight branch is a sacrifice. Waiting for new buds.

3. Waya Kayede Being my first styling(s), very happy with results. Looking forward to seeing where these will take me.

Cheers

They will back bud like mad in a few weeks, and when they do I decide then whether they are all useful, and remove any buds not needed in the trees future. No point wasting energy on something going to be removed later

How are these going?
