How could it be well it was unfortunate for me but it happened. I found this azalea at a local nursery for unbelieveally $10 I cut it down to about three five buds. This is a technique master roy nagatoshi uses to get the tree to explode with growth its worked before but not this time unfortunately. It was about to bud out and i could see the buds after the heat spell hit It started to die back. I cut it down and saw it was dying MY Heart Sank 5 months of work for nothing!!!!!! I was so disapointed. I saw it had died completely but it hadnt it still has a bit of stong green on the trunk. Even it it dies I will make a tanuki. No matter what this azalea will make a bonsai! Heres some pics http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j...187/azalea2.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j...187/azalea1.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j...l187/azalea.jpg Mike

Is that straight stick the trunk of your azalea, because if it is, it is interesting that the trunk is so thin with such interesting roots?

SO I cut those off.
