All of these lanky rhododendron divisions were planted last year. I wanted to see what would happen if I didn’t prune them back. Most have new growth at their bases and many actually bloomed.

Taking this shot, my back to my neighbors’ house, I can see where someone once planted two rhododendrons many moons ago. The original plant’s lanky stems reached out and over, re-rooting in the ground beyond. Then that plant’s stems reached out and re-rooted. We counted 7 generations at the very least!
We used the Kioti tractor to pull apart the dozens of subdivisions. Many were planted in the shade around the perimeter of their property. I took about a dozen or so subdivisions, for the shady areas around our pond and back acre. We also gave away dozens. Robert the Rhody had many grandchildren that grew up to be successful!
