I just repotted a few seedlings of a cross of Rh. atlanticum and Rh. luteum that a friend in California made. I think both are probably tetraploids. Mike...

I am pretty sure that there is a colchicine-created tetraploid form of 'Guy Yerkes' . Does anyone in the group grow it. I am hoping that several of my tet ...
Mike, Your comment raises an interesting question. How does one arrive at a tetraploid form of 'Guy Yerkes'? Does that mean that someone treated seed from...
Bill (Miller): Somewhere printed out I have articles on how to convert a specific variety of azalea into a tetraploid form. As I remember it, the process...
Galle lists the Beltsville hybrids as "Additional Kurume Hybrids." Both Casablanca and Guy Yerkes, the two Beltsville hybrids I included photos of, have a...

I have seen some good drawings and explanation in older azalea and rhododendron books. They should be online somewhere. The 6th edition of Plant Propagation:...

Folks, This very heat-and-cold hardy azalea, 'August to Frost', is still in bloom, and has continued since late August. Thanks for the gift, Ed Collins. We...
Hi Bob! Galle's book "Azaleas", available from Timber Press, has about a 1/2 page on mycorrhizae on p. 318. Azaleas will struggle with out them. Oak leaf...
Bill, did you mean to send a photo? I just rooted some of this cultivar from Paul James in Virginia. It roots easily and I plan to cross it with some ...
Some years ago I bought or traded for two plants, one being Catawabiense Album, the other Catawbiense grandiflorum purple. The Album has bloomed several ...
Hi all, When I remember well, last year some of you offered seeds of decidious azaleas and especcially of the native species. Well, I still am interested in...

Mike The wire hangers for rafter insulation work great for such things assuming you are careful about getting both ends in the ground (safety thing). I used to...
Or how about just picking a forked stick and using it as a hold-down. That way if you forget about it, you won't have a piece of metal to get in a foot or a...
