Azalea repot question
This summer I purchased a descent sized azalea hybrid bush with a nebari spread of 5'' and a trunk of 3 and 1/2" in a three gallon container. It appeared healthy when I got it, so I reduced it greatly. It back budded like a normal healthy azalea, (from what I hear) LOTS of new branches. But, since this is my first attempt at an azalea I'm not sure if I should mess with the roots this coming winter. I would like to start the process of compacting the root-ball to get it ready for bonsai-pot. Or, is it best to focus on developing the branch structure before I even mess with the roots? I live in central Florida if that helps formulate an answer.
Any help would be great!
