FLEMINGTON, N.J. -
Rhododenrons have been
especially hard hit by the
prolonged drought this
summer. Their shallow root
systems were damaged by a
combination of high soil
temperatures and extremely
dry soil The roots of some
plants were also injured this
spring when excessive rams
caused rotting from lack of
air in the soil.
Since rhododendrons will
continue to lose moisture
from theu evergreen leaves
throughout the winter, a few
precautions ■'ow will help

Rhododendrons need care
them withstand winter winds
and sun.
If water is restricted m
your community, use waste
water from the bathtub,
dishpan, or rinse cycle of the
clothes washer Some
detergent will not harm the
plants, providing the soil can
be scratched lightly for
aeration. Water plants until
the ground freezes.
A coarse mulch of wood
chips, bark chips, licorice
root, or oak leaves several
inches deep will help keep
soil moist and at an even

an annual problem, move
your rhodendrons to a more
sheltered location next

formed on rhododendrons
and should open normally
next spring as a reward for
these precautions taken now.
