How Does Back Budding Work?
I was told to chop down most of my Azalea so it can back bud.
I was wondering:
1) How does back budding work? (as in, why do I have to cut the tree back hard and what purpose does this do?)
2) Can I leave long branches but remove all the leaves for back budding?
3) What seasons should I do this?
4) If I just transfered my azalea into a shallow training pot, should I do this or wait?
Thanks!
