Collecting Large Azalea in Early Summer?

[Replikant]

Have a large landscaping azalea that I would like to collect. Wondering how an Azalea would fare being trunk chopped and collected in early summer ... temps here around 90 ... S. Louisiana. Any advice ... are Azalea's a collect in Spring only tree/shrub?

I collected one June 25, 2012 in a 106*F summer heat and it survived. Be careful w/ the after care. Good luck!
