The Brier Patch - Un-Trimmed Bush

Un-Trimmed Bush

I have 19 Azaleas in my yard. Red, white, pink, purple. I trim most of 'em back annually, but there are several I don't...I want to see how large they will grow. This one is about 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide.

Kind of scrappy looking...but still, that's a big Azalea.

I love azaleas! I'm not sure how big they can/will get.

Seriously, someone told me it is probably 50 years old.

What do I know?

Azaleas are wonderful. They grow beautifully here and in the Chicago area too. There are people around here with bushes that size. I keep meaning to buy at least one bush and plant it in the yard. Lovely spring flowery stuff!!!

You're absolutely correct...they are beautiful...my yard looks like Augusta National.
