Old Camellia Field Material

Post by Granite »

I collected this Camellia from the garden today. Have it sitting in a wheelbarrow with a Seasol/water mix. Hope it survives! Comments welcome of course.

That is big! Looks like pretty good taper. I’ve several in my garden (not nearly as big) that I’ve been thinking about digging up. Keen to see how yours goes and any tips that come through. Good luck!

Nice one. Plenty of fine roots. Shouldn't be a problem with survival. Hopefully you'll get plenty of shoots in all the right places.
