I live in Florida. I have cut 5 foot high azaleas down to 2
feet, with no
problems whatsoever. The prior comment that you may not get
blooms next
cycle is correct, but the plants will come out real strong and
more robost
and thick.


You can cut them back to stumps; they'll sprout new branches and
in a year or so will be in good shape. Then you can keep them
trimmed to shape.
