Morddexxbonsai's "Azalea 2020-2025" entry

[MorddexxBonsai]

First one I tried I was too aggressive and it died so going to use my other azalea. This was purchased untouched in March from lowes. It's a Gibraltar deciduous azalea.

I hard pruned and wired it in April.

This is the tree as of this week after removal of the wire.

Here's a few winter update pics got so much back budding I'm going to probably have to trim some of the buds I don't want off. Also include a picture of the pot I'm going to use.

Spring is here and your azalea could be blooming (depending on your location) or starting to leaf out with this season’s flush……it’s time for updates!

I would also like to add at this time we have 3 prizes to award. Many thanks to @Forsoothe! and @Deep Sea Diver for donating. I am also donating a prize as well.

If you are no longer interested in continuing in the Azalea Contest, please let me know so we can close your thread, thanks.

Bud are just now starting to green so should have a pic with leaves in a few days.

Not quite leaved out but it's getting there.

Wired up the Azalea this weekend to try to spread the branches some. For those complimenting the pot this is an iker bonsai pot from Ohio.
