Hiya.
My 25 yo rhodo really suffered from the drought. One is still huge and
absolutely COVERED with buds but fewer leaves than before. The other one
looks half dead. Green only at the tops of branches and several dead
branches. How severely should I cut it back? It is about 8-9' tall. 30%
of the green is from new shoots at the base of the plant. Can I just whack
it all back to 3' or so? In this particular instance, size does not matter.
They are back in a corner by themselves.
Thanks,
Jeny
