Newly collected azalea (40-50 years)

An old guy died and his sons sold the house. Before they cut all trees to start a new building i saved this azalea:

(The box is 50cm wide)

Today my father gave me some help, this is the 2nd azalea being pulled out.

My back aches just from looking at the root ball! That's a hunk of azalea! Have fun with it!

The last four colected trees:

Nice azalea(s)! It looks to be the Southern indica 'Formosa'. Please clean and seal your cuts and put a layer of moss or mulch over the base and soil surface until you have plenty of new growth. Plenty of sun is fine but you need to keep the roots shaded and cool. Also, you can wash all of the old heavy soil from the roots and change to good bonsai soil. They are very strong azaleas and won't mind.

Good luck!
