You can always experiment, but they don't heal well when grafted or pruned and you may end up with a disappointing abomination shall you ever even fuse them.

Actually black azaleas if gotten young enough are very much bendible ive worked with them before as if you were to get something older it be much more brittle. Thats why I asked if anyone had tried it with azaleas well I guess ill be the first one then.

Found sone good young cheap stock hoping to start it in the spring. See what will become of it.
