John,
Thankyou for that article. It was great! Very informative. But, the article dealt with Satsuki's. Can I apply those same rules for Satsuki's to my hybrid azalea?
Panamaniac,
It won't be blooming this coming season as far as I know.

When I pruned it hard there was no foliage left, just a trunk and a few bare "father" branches. I got it at a large garden center where it was left to grow very "leggy". And, I think that azalea's bloom on second year branches.
And about posting a picture...I WISH I COULD! I don't have a computer of my own, much less a digital camera. I'm a college student...need I say more.

This is going to make a great tree in what I hope to be a short amount of time(If I do things right).
Thanks to the both of you for your help. I hope I can keep asking questions about this tree as they come...I don't want to screw this one up!
