The secret i meant is you have to ask Bill and Jim the right questions so they can take you to the back and grab a tree that they use for there mother plants ;) ...keeping it alive and thriving is no problem for me ;) not killing with lack of bonsai skills (ive only been at this 2 years but ive been growing stuff my whole life) is what i meant. i might over hack it, or cause dieback which i hear is a problem with azalea's or take too much off the roots who know's?! haha but ill try my best not to kill it
They sell their mother plants?

Well technically there will be a 1st, 2nd, 3rd by way of voting here. I'm hoping others will donate winner prizes to congratulate 5yrs of dedication.

Didn't know there was going to be a 1st 2nd and 3rd...i am willing to donate a plant for one of the prizes :)

I’ll put this, pruned one of my azalea about 2 months back and stuck this in the soil not thinking it would actually take but seems like it’s still alive so I guess it developed some roots.
will pot it in a separate pot in spring

picked up these 3 yesterday with the contest in mind. 29 dollars each at the local azalea specialist.. one for clump style, one for broom style and one for informal upright,
got some decisions to make before the start of the contest.. but i doubt il go with the informal upright as no one wants to watch a wound heal for 5 years.
