NEW TREES AND CAMELIAS

When is a good time to plant a new tree bought in a container from a garden centre
Also do I need to do something with my camelia that has buds on it. Does it need a feed or should I leave well alone. Like the website

 

Hi and welcome to gardeners corner :D

Whilst I can't answer your question I know others will. I just thought I'd like to add that I'm looking for a winter flowering camelia that doesn't grow too big (possibly a dwarf variety if one exists)and I know that someone out there (Pete?) will no doubt know a website. :D

Here's hoping!!

Hi there and welcome Vonnie. This is the time of year that camelias form their buds, so yes I would feed it now. Miracid works for me, every two weeks til spring

 

Container grown trees may be planted at any time.

 

Hi, This nursery in Dorset has so many camellias it's really hard to choose!

Another one I like is:

The camellia buds need some protection if we have very cold winds etc. this winter.

 

Right now is about the best time to plant a container grown tree.

 

Thanks to all you answered
