Have you noticed any rhododendrons sporting their flower buds?  These are the flower buds for next spring.  So don't get all busy and prune them.  

 

We lived in a condo community in Virginia Beach, and the grounds crew invariably chose to prune our azaleas and rhododendrons in JULY!!!  The plants had already set their flower buds, so they NEVER got to bloom.  

 

Don't make the same mistake.  The blooms are so beautiful; you don't want to deprive yourself of them.  

 

Go ahead and prune blueberries and fruit trees; they will thank you for doing it now.  But leave the Rhodies alone.  

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
