Rene_Voortwist Guest Posts: n/a	Pruning A Rhodendron Mhoerheim ? Hi, I have a Rhododendron Mhoerheim (looks like an azalea with small leaves) that suffered some frost damage last winter. I like to cut it back hard and start developing branches from scratch. Can you do that with a Rhododendron/azalea ?? regards, René

Same goes for privet, olive, cotoneaster, pyracantha, boxwood, etc. About the only concern is to make sure that there is time for the new growth to harden off before frost. For very heavy headback (cutting back to no foliage) it's best to do it just before the plant breaks dormancy, which for many azaleas is late spring to mid summer (during flowering) Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?
