    I have just realised that Camelia are evergreen [I know what you are saying ?]
    What price do you think I would be paying for one, Wilkos have ones about 18in tall for £7 I wanted one a bit bigger

    Nate, that's not a bad price. Depending on which G. centre you use, for one bigger than that, I think you'd be looking at £20+.

    Well done, Nate. That is an excellent price. If they're pot-grown, technically they can be put in anytime but it might be better to wait for this current spell of weather to pass. I think they're supposed to be grown in lime-free soil but I've got one that's 20 yrs old and it grows quite happily in my clay soil.
