When is the best time to prune a mature Rhododendron bush?

Our Advice:

The best time to prune a rhododendron is just after they have finished flowering. It is important to feed at the same time with a fertiliser for camellias & rhododendrons, just follow the directions on the carton. Make sure that you water the ground to wash the feed into the soil around the roots, and mulch with well rotted organic matter.
