Wow! You didn't leave much green, did you?

These are going to be HARD work for bonsai.
 
Nice find. I always chop back hard and you did more than I would have. :D

Azalea is also one of the few that I fear die back on.

Good luck!!! They all sure look very promising! :)
 
any buds on these big boys in the last week plus?
Where in MD are you?
 
I dug a bunch out of a hedgerow 3 weeks ago. I pruned but left lots of green on leggy small branches. My idea is to let them get healthy and chase back the foliage over the next several years.

They drink a huge amount of water.

Any hints would be helpful. Thanks

#3 looks like it could develop a canopy about 1/3rd its current height over the next 5-10 years and be something special

this one (or 2) looks like it would benefit from separating the two. The bigger one on the left might have some good muscular roots that you might be able to show off. Any canopy that develops and has flowers will be icing on the cake. Understand that proper pruning at the right time of year (after flowering usually) will help a lot to develop the branchwork, and that these are at least 3 year projects depending on what is above what we can see in the pic.
