Great video, my only difference of opinion is the growth rate. I have 5 of these and find them the fasting growing camellias I own (I own about 15 different types).
Really appreciate your videos, Jim. And it's nice that I live in the same zone as you (Durham). Question: should these be planted in basically the same spot as Camelia Japonica? How much sun can they tolerate? Could they take evening sun in the summer months?
Hi Jim....Thank you so much for your videos.... I live in 7B LI NY..I love camelias and have several of them along my property...They are 2 feet tall i have had them for 2 years...However i am not having much luck with them blooming or thriving...They are on the west side of our home under dapplish sun planted close to front porch near mature rhododendron and azaleas...our winters are rough here and snow covers them..They sustain a lot of winter burn..but the plant still has green stems underneath...it is so frustrating because all we will get are green foliage and not much blooms...i have the setsugekka sasanqua white and japonica pink marie bracy...any advise would be greatly appreciated...TY
I'm in zone 9b (San Jose CA.). I need a tall, narrow hedge to hide my neighbors. Ideally would be about 8-9' tall, and easily stay contained in about 18" depth space along the east side of a fence. They would get morning sun and afternoon shade after about 2pm. Would these do well in those conditions? Looking for something low maintenance and drought tolerant. Thanks!
Good info, I have a few of these which are currently supported/tied centrally to a stake in their pots. The central "trunk" is no where near as thick and supporting as the one in your video. Would you recommend I trim it down vertically to promote more growth out wide?

Just bought my 1st! $15 two quart about 2' tall.
Very clear, comprehensive practical advice. Thank you. I will be planting a hedge of them.
+R Turner Great. Thanks for watching

+Sam McReady I would prune it in early spring. That should thicken it up.
looks heavy for you to hold it :)
Hi Jim
I have a japonica camelia in a big planter in a shaded area and I was wondering if that variety of camelia would be good in a container.
