Sometime ago in the spirit of procrastination meets curiosity, we decided to see how tall the rhododendron might get if left unpruned.
This tall.
A bit absurd, but the reward is a mountain of purple flowers when they all bloom plus great privacy from our neighbors.
Next year - the roof?

Thanks! I should update the rhodo photo when they are actually in bloom.
What a great plant! It looks terrific. I think we are a bit too cold here, so I admire them in other yards. I recently read that they are a problem in Ireland - that they are really taking over in some places.
Hi Nan,
I came home from work and the husband (who had not read the blog) said he was thinking of pruning the rhododendren - I said "noooooooooooo!". A friend of mine is planting several as a hedge - I never thought about them as hedge plants.
