Default Pruning wild rhododendrons?

We have a rhodie, transplanted to our garden from Mt Townsend on the
Olympic Penninsula in Washington.

It has become too leggy for our present setting (These plants normally
grow to 10 - 12 feet or so, with blossoms only on the top third).

We would like to prune it down to two feet and let it start over.

1. Is this advisable?

2. Can we do it now, or should we wait till winter?


Thanks in advance!

Dwight
