Yakushimanum or Yak rhododendrons are a relatively new group of rhododendrons bred for their slow growth and compact habit, whilst maintaining much of their larger hybrid relatives appearance. The flowers and leaves are similar in size to larger rhodendrons and equally bear an enormous amount of flowers. They also benefit from their tolerance of alkaline soils.
