Alright, this guy wasn't affected by the cold this year. I love the color. I'll enjoy the flowers then get to pruning and de-wiring were needed. Hoping to get some good growth this year again.View attachment 431795 View attachment 431797

Nice blooms. Mine should be opening up by next month.

Mid summer update. Lots of good growth, did some pruning and wiring. Now I'll let It grow for a while. One picture is before the trim.

Nice growth, looks very healthy.

[edit]
Ah I see it was completely bald in 2020, and then didn't look so hot at first. Great job.

Late summer early fall update. Filling out nicely and have no complaints. Should get a nice bloom next spring.

Well my azaleas took a hit this winter, I'll be doing a little bit more to protect them next winter. But the Hino is strong and gave me a good floral display. Need to work on more height this year.

So I've got a good flush of growth this year and I think I'll let it go until next year. Lot's of spider friends on everything helping keep the pests down. I should have quite the show of blooms next year.
