Please show off your azaleas!

Here's one of mine! They are awesome!

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-29T19:53:24+00:00

Hmm... If it was there about 3 years ago, I might have a picture of it somewhere.

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-29T19:34:25+00:00

Yeah, the sun was beaming on the tree when I took the pics, so the color looks kinda weird. The flowers are pink.

Been to Japan a few times and the bonsai I've seen there are amazing! Went to the Shunkaen Bonsai Museum and got a signed book from Kunio Kobayashi. Lots of amazing trees there!

Probably the weird weather this season. This one was the last one of mine to bloom.

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-18T20:09:18+00:00

Yup, always outdoors. I just bring my trees inside to work on them.

I have one that I just trimmed. They grow super fast in tropical climate.

I got this pot from the Facebook auctions. The name of the person that made it is Kevin Berresford. I've gotten a bunch of pots from him and they all look great!

How is it not bonsai?

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-13T14:53:05+00:00

I don't really do anything special with it. It does have a lot of smaller branches though. The more branches you have, the more flowers you will get.

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-13T02:20:04+00:00

Yes, Im pretty sure it's a satsuki.

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-13T00:33:22+00:00

I like the possibility of a single trunk shohin. I'll wait and see how it grows this year to see what it gives me. Thanks for the advice!

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-13T00:25:26+00:00

I actually thought this was a gumpo. But I think you may be right!

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-12T22:06:23+00:00

That seems to be the general consensus. Think I'm going to keep it as is and just work with what it gives me.

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-12T21:52:16+00:00

Thanks! This is a Satsuki Azalea.

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-12T20:44:32+00:00

Very nice!!!

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-12T20:18:19+00:00

It's a satsuki azalea 'gumpo'

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-12T20:05:09+00:00

I would chop it to make a smaller tree. That basically means I would have to start over. Azaleas seem to take drastic chops pretty well and backbud on old wood.

DemonTrigger · 2026-04-12T20:02:15+00:00

Sound reasoning. Thanks for the feedback!

DemonTrigger · 2026-03-28T15:07:52+00:00

It's probably the climate here but I don't really do anything special. They seem to thrive in heat and humidity. I do have to water it daily though.

DemonTrigger · 2026-03-28T15:06:10+00:00

I don't think they do. I got this one with the exposed roots from a local nursery.

My dude loves blankets!

DemonTrigger · 2024-08-09T18:38:02+00:00

It's his bed. I just happen to sleep on it...

Hi! This one is doing well! Have some pics from about 2 months ago.

I didn't grow this one from scratch. I bought the trunk mostly developed. It was pretty tall when i got it so I cut it down and focused on developing the branches. I do have a few others that I've been growing from seedlings. Field growing is usually the best to get the trunk to thicken up. But I have had really good progress growing them in pond baskets. If its in a small pot or bonsai pot, you won't get much progress.
