Hi All,

Here are my quick thoughts.

Nice canopy, but something must have gone on in this trees past to cause damage to the middle section. There seems to be too much "open" (negative) space. Guess a branch may have been broken accidently in the past, since azalea branches can be very brittle.

As it is at present, it looks overbalanced to the left and should be re-potted about 10/15 degrees to the right bringing the apex back over the trunkline more. (Hey, rotation on a laptop is real easy )

Also, in the first sharp turn left, there appears to be a little of reverse taper which is being disguised by growing foliage across it.

The pot looks round, which should be changed in the re-pot to a slightly wider oval.

Oh well, first again, so knock me down if you see anything else or dis-agree - its all part of a learning curve.

Ian.
