Wanda....I have some that have some dead limbs and intend to cut them now!
NOW IS NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER. YOU WILL CUT OFF THE NEW BLOOMS .
Right after azaleas and rhododendrons are finished blooming is the best time to do any pruning they may need. These shrubs make blooms that flower on the prior year's wood. So you have to be careful when pruning them since buds for next spring will be made this summer, and you don't want to prune those off.
Oh my this scares me cause my azealas keep getting rounder and taller woody. I feel like they need to cut down to about two feet from the ground. Is this possible or will it kill them they r 20 years old
