Скачать или смотреть Extreme hard prune of Rhododendron to encourage new growth from base

We love our Rhododendron 'Tinkerbird' - it has provided us with a lovely dome of flowers each spring along with a sweet perfume (which is quite rare for Rhododendrons) but it as become quite leggy with bare stems and so we are taking a risk by giving it a severe prune - in the hope of encouraging bushy new growth from the base.
So, in the video you will see how hard we cut our lovely plant back, and we show an example of another Rhododendron in another garden which was cut back to just a short stump a few years ago and you can see how well it has grown back .. we hope ours will grow back as well .. time will tell!
