I planted a couple satsuki azaleas in the garden bed about 3 years ago and they are looking pretty good now. I was wondering if I could dig them up this fall or should I wait for spring and if so do you dig before they bloom or after. They're not much more than a foot tall. We have fairly mild weather year round here in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for any info! --Sandi

Posts: 96	Azalea repot I just purchased an azalea in a bonsai pot. Should I repot it now into a grow box to give the trunk more girth? __________________ Terri

I'm going to make small bonsai out of them so by next year they should be about perfect. Thanks for the interest. -- Sandi

Posts: 3,348	Terri The quickest way to achieve the trunk size you want is to plant the tree in the ground and feed it well. A grow box isn't as good but it will do if you have no planting in the ground option. Sandi, excellent as you have a plan of what you want to achieve. __________________ Bonsai Northwest Inc, Melbourne, Australia Bonsai Flora Nursery in Yarraville, Melbourne
