So the only azalea I'm currently growing as a bonsai is a small one I got at a club raffle.

Thinking about it, because of the way they root, trying to lift old and established azaleas would be extremely difficult if they weren't root trained first. Still, it was worth a go. You got a nice ligustrum out of it. __________________ Experience is knowledge gained immediately after it was needed.
