My one and only Rhododendron in the soil.

It's planted right beside the conifer hedge where the soil is a little acidic. The rest of the garden soil is more towards alkaline. That's why I have to keep my azaleas and rhododendrons in pots of ericacious compost.

I thought you might it was just a thought I got an Azealea they have made into a small standard as when you make them a standard all the growth goes to the top making more flowers but if your stem is nt tough best leave it like you said Homebird.

Is it R. ponticum, or a R.variety?

That's the one that takes over whole hillsides, tho' I'm sure it will be ok to just have one in your garden, :-)
