My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

pruning rhododendrons

22 years ago

My woody, spindly rhododendron finished blooming two weeks ago. Is it too late to prune it? How close to the ground does one prune this type of plant?
