Rhododendrons develop new leaf and flower buds directly below the old flower trusses, so if you trim back the branches you'll lose next year's bloom. You might want to make pruning a 2-3 year project, removing only some of the branch tips this year and some next year, in order to preserve at least half of the blooms each season. They can be kept in shape by removing about one-third of the length of each branch. |

The soil beneath pines tends to be on the acidic end of the pH scale because of the needles they drop. Another problem associated with growing plants under pines is that the trees have fibrous roots near the soil surface that will compete with any other plant for moisture and nutrients.  |
