Help with a camellia
Posted: June 15th, 2017, 9:44 pm
Was wondering if any body could help out.
I stumbled upon a huge camellia in a pot about to be thrown into builders bin while out walking.
I had 10 mins to do something before it was being hauled off.
I borrowed a saw from one of the builders and cut down to a stump of about 12 inches and reduced the root ball by about 80% so I could carry it home!
After getting it home, I sealed the cut and planted it in a tomato box with a good azalea/camellia potting mix and gave it a goo water with seasol.
I know the chances of it taking are slim, given how much root was taken out, but hoping someone might have some advice/tips to improve chances of survival.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
