The local fb site had an offer of some azaleas and gardenias. Can't pass up free trees, especially when they are already dug and just waiting to be picked up.
Here are the plants I picked up.
It's quite late in the season for azaleas here but one had double white flowers
First step is to remove as much of the garden soil as practical without destroying the roots. Then cut back roots to remove damaged parts and to fit into a pot.
That is one huge root for an azalea but it needs to come off to fit into a pot.
After potting up the trees go under the benches where they will get well watered, some sun but mostly shade.
Now it's just a waiting game to see how quickly these recover.

but it means you get whatever they decided to leave you with. In this case the roots were generous enough to shorten back a bit to fit the pots and only a couple of broken ones.
