Pruning Rhododendrons with Alan Vesely

We all learn things at our own time. One thing I've never been sure that I'm doing correctly is pruning Rhodies! (Luckily it's not something I get asked to do very often...) So I'm bringing in another expert to help me! Please enjoy this video with a special guest, 41+ year certified arborist, Alan Vesely!
