Hi There Everyone! I am so glad to have found with website. Totally a savior for me due to the fact that this gardening thing, while I am enjoying it, it quite overwhelming! LOL! Anyway, here is my question...
When can I prune my azaleas? I have about 20 on my property that I purchased last August and they have grown quite large. All are about up to my shoulders. They just finished blooming about 5 days ago and all the flowers are turning brown and falling off. I need to get them under control. I can't see anything past them. Someone mentioned that I could prune them after the finish flowering...is this correct and if so that would be now, correct? How much can I take off with messing up the flowers for next year? See, I am new to this. I think I bit off more than I can chew with this property, but it so beaituful in the spring!
Sincerely,
Gail
