[@paulamontgomery6336]

Labor day has just passed and now I cant wait to tackle our completely oversized Azalea bush in the Spring. (After its done blooming)😊 Thank you for this great video!

Thank you. You definitely did a good job on explaining when and how to go about pruning.

Great video, very informative. I'll be pruning my Azaleas soon. Thank you 💜

I have a very large azelia shrub that I get intimidated to prune. With this helpful vid, I’m going to tackle it easy. Thanks.

Can I prune my azaleas in late Feb/early March after all the freezing temps are gone? And what is pruned off can it be used as a starter plant?

Thank you. We have an overgrown azalea patch in the back of our new property and I think this video will help a great deal. I also have something I think is a crape myrtle shrub (well, quite a number of them actually) and I'm afraid to prune them, because I can't find anything online about them. Can you help? The previous owner of our house told me that they would just sheer them, but I have a feeling they need some thinning out too.

Crape Myryles should be pruned, not sheared, in the Jan-March time frame. If you send us an email ([e-mail]) we can send you more detailed information on how to prune them.

Do you cut off dead blooms?

[@lesleynyborg2093]

What should I do? We SHEARED our azaleas and they look so ratty now.. They were so overgrown. I think I need to still do some trimming.

[@vce-princewilliam4823]

Could you send us pictures of them with info on when they were sheared to [e-mail]?

What is a "growing point"?

[@vce-princewilliam4823]

Points where new growth emerges - buds, nodes.

Would be helpful to show what a growing point looks like.

[@stevesnyder6844]

I was wondering the same thing. She shows the growth point at the 3:20 mark in the video
