That old timer at the Everett farmers market gave me bad advice about rhododendrons

Back in 2018, a retired landscaper named Bill told me to prune my rhododendrons in early spring instead of after they bloom. I followed his advice and lost almost all the flower buds for two years straight. Has anyone else gotten confidently wrong advice from a stranger that set them back?

Oh man, Bill's the worst (prune them right after they finish blooming, not before).

Three years I followed his advice and got zero blooms that season.
