Mr. Robinson, There happen to be quite a few varieties in the "Formosa Crowd" that should be available in most sections of FL. We have grown and had prosper ...

In the genus Rhododendron no polyprenols were found in the ever-green species, while they were present in the deciduous type. Hi Larry, I'm no chemist, but...
Hello Howard! I live in the Central Valley of California where it gets quite hot and dry in the summer (100+ degrees). Sounds about like the conditions you...

I have found that the pruning of those lower, think branches on deciduous azaleas (probably evergreens too) in late winter, and just before bud break in colder...
Mike, I grew a named cultivar of R. luteum, "Bantom Gold" or "Banthom Gold", for about 14 years until it sucumbed to a tree fall that crushed the root crown....
Mike, Joe, In the recent survey I conducted on heat-tolerant dec. azaleas, few people mentioned trying to grow R.luteum. The 3 instances that cropped up,...

Will, I guess the reason I did not include R. luteum in my list for the survey is I no longer had "Batumi Gold", (Greer), and no longer grew the species. A...
