Dwarf Rhododendron "Impeditum" Bonsai tree.
Field grown since 1997, Potted and being trained since 2015.
Azaleas are of the genus Rhododendron from the Ericaceae family. They do best in partial shade or filtered sun with well-drained acidic soil from pH 4.5–6.0 and regular watering to keep moist but not wet.
They can be found in both deciduous and evergreen varieties. Certain Azaleas and Rhodie cultivars are highly sought after by bonsai enthusiasts for their long lasting blooms, interesting bark and small leaves.
For years large specimen azalea bonsai were imported from Japan but new regulations have become exceedingly strict, now allowing only small basically starts to enter the US.
