    I agree your rhodo looks fine according to photo. Just leave well alone and it will prob flower when its settled after its pruning

      Thanks all. Might try soaking the ground and mulching with eric compost and see how she goes. The JCB may have to wait til all else fails!!

        It looks pretty healthy so should be okay. If it does flower then deadhead it straight afterwards to help it form more buds for next year.

        Oh and confiscate the MIL's pruning shears ;)

          Ha ha! I'm surprised it took so long for someone to make a MIL gag!
