You should use cut paste for those larger cuts, azalea are notorious to die back from big cuts. I bet it will be a very beautiful bonsai in a few years time.

This is extremely helpful. I was never sure of the timing before, so I didn’t do anything. Next mid- April I will be very busy! (Zone 7).

I just pruned my Home Cheapo Azalea but not as much as you did. I'm going to split it up this spring and next for less stress.

@@DaveCollom yes please do. I have an older azalea that needs to be reworked and needs the top build up.

My dad has some azaleas that have been planted at his house for 40+ yrs. If I wanted to dig a couple up and replant them for a bonsai what time of year would be best? I'm in the Houston area.

About 2 weeks after your last frost date, so probably middle of March

Please watch the follow up video for this where I prune further after seeing how well it buds back

hello. How many years does it take to grow a tree like this?

@DaveCollom 9 ай бұрын

Varies on type of tree material. I've grown ficus cuttings in cement trays and within 5 yrs have thick trunked well designed bonsai where as an azalea would probably take twice as long. The tree in the video had a nice trunk when purchased and unsure of how old.

Hi, I am a 69 yo woman interested in starting bonsai, what limb/concave trimmer would you recommend? Thanks

@treeloverdave 10 ай бұрын

I recommend a carbon steel 6 or 7 inch concave cutter. Also a sharp pair of trimming scissors. I usually buy my tools from Stone Lantern when they have a sale. If you have a local bonsai club sometimes members will have used tools for cheap or will even donate to a newbie
