Old Azalea - Spring Shaping & Pruning

 This very old Azalea - Alba magnifica would have to be, conservatively, ~120 yrs old.  It was an 'urban yamadori' I dug over 40yrs ago from a very old garden.

It spent many years in our field beds recovering and being reduced to the height it is today.

Against all advise I potted it in Akadama, not Kanuma.  It is doing really well and it flowers profusely. !!!!  Pure white.
