This sumptuous Satsuki is from Bill Valavanis' 2014 Japan Satsuki tour. Based on the massive trunk there's a good chance that it was originally field grown or dug up after a long time in someone's garden.
I was going to make this post about digging from the wild and field growing, but it’s a very large topic and it’s Monday morning and ten thousand emails await, so we’ll just have to postpone until there’s more time to dig (intended) into it.
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy these two sumptuous Satsuki azaleas.
Here's another powerful Satsuki azalea that may have been field grown (it's from Bonsai Today issue 40, courtesy of Bonsai Focus magazine).
