My neighbors rhodies are pink and white, too, and they are lovely. I have a lilac one in the back that's over 7' tall ... grew over 2.5 feet this year!<BR/><BR/>Hi Rhea - I wonder if Home Depot makes some special tool for trimming these, perhaps a riding shrub-master -- that's what I could use a free lesson on! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421838192857136356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109731257089575246.post-41549670732765024892008-06-11T20:34:00.000-07:002008-06-11T20:34:00.000-07:00Wow, those are ROBUST!

Believe it or not, they have a very tiny root ball, and can be transplanted even when they are huge! Yours are so pretty in red!<BR/><BR/>That backyard should be filling up with vacationing kids about now, too!Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.com
