25.01.2022 This Azalea is at least 90 years old, and could be much older. One of our Teachers, Ray Mackaway dug it from a friends garden around 20 years ago. Ray has been working on the tree for that period of time to develop it into a bonsai. This year its the best it has ever flowered. It is 104cm from the ground to the top of the tree and 104cm wide.
