Thanks Sonya for your support. The videos do seem to be getting more silly as time goes on. I find a lot of gardeners take themselves too seriously. Kind regards, Simon
I have a question that I think your insight would be great help and would be able to give trustworthy advice on! I've gathered info from your other videos on tips, care, as well as like this one avoiding... ... Yes...avoidance was simply impossible for my beloved bushes to escape, because it seems from what they appear to have happened unfortunately been in too close proximity to a brush killer. That's what my ultimate guess is at least. Sporting skeletal branches around one side while the rest still flowered while most telling to the most tragically transformed what was only just before the most luscious green and healthy coat practically promising eden to then suddenly overnight it was as if it froze up like it was a statue keeping all one chalky lifeless color. It was so very alive. Someone knows what they did and is at least paying this much attention to see what they have done, unless how I feel about it has reached the source as so much....they have tried pruning it down, it's color is still off-putting. Not sure if I'm just hopeful but oh grace of God I hope I'm seeing growth from their cuts. The other bushes are maintaining, just having to maintain their rough edges until they recover....my main concern is and what I'd like you're advice/opinion on if any chance of survival exists or could, what would you say I could do now? Oh! One more thing which just happened last night I noticed whoever cut the lawn clearly didn't realize how wrongfully close to what little baby bush they got to which was just the beginning of a bush that I was reviving that was barely there from being suffocated by vines...now it's completely uprooted! It has fresh green leaves coming from it and growth! What can I do to save my flowers that my ancestors long before me began here. I never thought I'd be back at the place I grew up to live again. The camelias were overgrown by vines when I got here.....just to be smothered with brush killer....is there any hope? Can they be revived? Thank you for your lovely videos and time! -Helen (MS Gulf Coast)
Hi Helen and thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, I found that all the additional prose was confusing your actual question so could you resubmit keeping it simple and just with the facts? That way I can give you my best advice. Kind regards Simon
Hi Mary Rose, Yes, you can. The best time to dig up camellias is after leaf drop in the autumn, so between November and February. However the root damage in doing so will stress the plant and can cause the flower buds to drop. They will always perform better in the ground, assuming it's planted well and in the right place. However if you have to move it then you have to move it. Good luck, Simon

Can you dig up a camellia and put it in a pot or when is the best time?
Hi Mary Rose, Yes, you can. The best time to dig up camellias is after leaf drop in the autumn, so between November and February. However the root damage in doing so will stress the plant and can cause the flower buds to drop. They will always perform better in the ground, assuming it's planted well and in the right place.

@@walkingtalkinggardeners ok thank you.
8/6/24 how to trim a camellia at the bottom without regrowth?
Trim it as you want to, then rub off any new buds as the break, Just keep a close eye on it as it will want to reshoot near the cuts.
