They need pruning because even we gardeners don't always use our heads
when planting and put something in the wrong place. Or the plant grows
bigger than planed. Which is what happened with my rhody, it wants to grow
into a tree in a small flowerbed, rather than trying to replace it I prune.

If you are doing every thing right, rhodies don't need pruning, ever.

Why do they need pruned? At what size do you prune them back? Thanks,
