I recently picked up 2 azalea hybrids from a garden center and one of them has become my experiment tree. I've already cut it back super hard after hearing that it shouldn't be an issue this time of year.
When cutting back this species, should I have left more branches or fewer? I didn't want to turn it into just a stick but perhaps that's not a valid concern. What would you have done?
Also for styling, and it's probably a bit early to decide, but what trunk line would you keep? I'll draw my thoughts on the pictures below.
My default idea is just leave everything on it and go broom style of sorts. I really like the idea of trunk line A because of the nice movement off to one side. B is also an option in my mind but I don't like it as much.
